Example of wrong spell-correction

[antongigele]

The code returns a false positive for the word "familly", though it should return "family". I guess that familly has been denoted a existing word somehow by mistake, there might be other words also. Here is the code to see the result

from spellchecker import SpellChecker
spell = SpellChecker()

word = "familly"
print(spell.correction(word))

>>> familly

Yes, you are correct. The data source (opensubtitles) for the word frequency list contains many mistakes and I am trying to find a good solution to correct these issues.
