Welcome to the Wikipedia Gardening club, Ed.  We may not be as sexy as the
Militia but there's always plenty weeding to keep us busy!

I must admit that I haven't checked out "separate" for a while but there are
always plenty of similar "weeds" to find.  "suprising" and "comittee" to
name but two.  I like Magnus's idea for Yet Another Special Page working off
Wikipedia:Typos though.  Automated finding isn't the complete answer but it
would be a very useful tool.

Cheers

Derek
