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.
