In bash:

shopt -s cdspell

But I can't step away from this without being just a bit pedantic ...  
I strongly advise against using that option as root, where a typo can
mean disaster, and you don't want the system making assumptions for
you.  Great for normal users, though, especially non-geeks who use
Unix only occasionally and are accustomed to a more
recognition-oriented interface.  Or for a geek like me, who
consistently transposes the last two letters in /usr/locla.

;-)
