The best I can offer you is a small set I used for testing Aspell. It contains a lot of my own misspellings plus a few others from other sources. It has a lot of the more difficult misspellings that many spell checkers are unable to get. You can find it at http://aspell.net/test/. If you do find such a list I will certainly be interested in it also. --- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
