Thanks for making the maintenance page for misspellings. It took me about
15 minutes to change "althought" to "although" in 22 articles. I took a detour for "Tia and Tamara Mowry" and the "Olsen Twins", which slowed me down. But once I hit my stride, I could fix 2 or 3 articles per minute.
I'm not quite that quick. I've noticed that when you get one misspelling in an article, it's a good indicator that there are other problems with spelling or grammar and it takes a while for me to check through a big article. But I too think that the spelling page is a great tool. Much faster than picking a random page and reading it.
Cheers
Derek
