I wonder if instead of comparing with tiddlers, the plugin used data tiddlers there could be an improvement in performance as well as increased ease of setting up new terms. The way it would work is that comparisons would be made from the top of the data tiddler to the bottom, taking the one that came first. So if you wanted to make sure that "Empiricism, a way of life" was linked before plain old "Empiricism", then you could put that at the top of the list. Or maybe vice-versa, depending on how the original code works. In any event, whenever you wanted to add a new misspelling, you'd just add an entry to the data dictionary:
Empiricalism: Empiricism Then you could also have different dictionaries that could be applied for different topics which would also improve performance and reduce ambiguity.
