Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings/A
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please do not delete a misspelling from this page just because it causes false positives. A better way of getting rid of false positives is to "comment them out". This can be done by changing the initial asterisk symbol (*) on a line into a colon (:). If this is done, it means that it's easy to put potential spelling errors back if you want to re-run a check for them at some future time.
