: "Of course we currently already create "misspellings" redirects (manually)"
Do we? I don't see why. Having such a redirect suggests that at some point it will be used. That means a link with the wrong spelling. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I would much rather see a red link than a blue one on a misspelling! Anyone using preview is more likely to be alerted to the misspelling, not to mention the reader or another editor if the misspelling is saved! (Yes, I realise people should be using spellcheckers, but they probably aren't!)
Anyways, I think misspelt words should not be catered for!

BugZillify this as a Feature Request.
I also love playing with languages but I sometime feel like I'm not that welcomed to understand some of the writings in this list. I'm very sad to only be French (and to blindly use split infinitive :) but I wished I had enough boldness to ask writers to stay in certain limits of understandability (<-- I know this word is horrific, but it's easy to understand for most readers, isn't it ?)
Note that this comment isn't directly adressed to Jens but to all the contributors. Wikipedia isn't only written by native geeks swimming everyday in their slangy localized bath, my dear friends !
