Not me ... this is ancient lore e.g. Knuth vol 3 of TAOCP 1973 edition 
page 391 "If we make two copies of the file, one in which the keys are 
in normal alphabetic order and another in which they are ordered from 
right to left (as if the words were spelled backwards), a misspelled 
word will probably agree up to half or more of its length with an entry 
in one of those two files."
