Hello, I like the misspelling page on maintenance generally, but 'fulfilment' is listed as a misspelling. This is just the British spelling of the word, I personally don't think that words like this should be listed as misspellings, especially as wikipedia is not supposed to have an official policy on US\British spelling. I'm not sure if there are other British spellings that the page picks out, but there may be. Any opinions on this? Can it be removed?
According to the Australian oxford dictionary that's the way it's supposed to be spelt here too. I had to look it up because it didn't LOOK wrong to me, but since I'm dyslexic I'm not a great judge. The misspelling search is a great function to have - it certainly beats typing them into the search box one at a time... but is there a way to have the CORRECT spelling for the word appear next to the typoed version? I'm quite capable of telling when a word's wrong, but not always able to tell you the right version off the top of my head. I know that'd be a lot more fiddling, but it would make sure that people (like me) corrected to the right spelling and not to another mistake.
