[edit] Misspelling trends

I have been finding quite a few misspellings using some simple rules:

• Double a consonant when there is supposed to be only one.
  • (reffered, refference)
• Use a single consonant when two are required.
  • ()
• Anything with "-ly" on the end will be misspelled.
  • (initialy)
• Leave out the second or third vowel in a word, but not both.
  • (extrnal)
• Use "-r" instead of "-er" as an ending.
  • ()
• Use "-st" instead of "-est" as an ending.
  • ()
• Transpose two adjacent consonants in the middle of a word.
  • ()
• Transpose two adjacent vowels in the middle of a word.
  • ()
• The endings "-el" and "-le" are interchangeable (or is it -abel?).
  • ()
• The phrase "i" before "e" except after "c" is not often used.
  • (recieve, concieve, beleive)
