A system to find and correct misspellings #651

Open jkomoros opened 1 year ago

(I swear there is another issue tracking this but I can't find it).

MIsspellings stand out as (inadvertently) very distinctive words. (Although there are some common misspellings that might not look that distinctive). That means they pollute the fignerprint space.

A system might be that when you save a card that has an oddly distinctive word (never seen before), we ask you to confirm it's spelled correctly. If it is not spelled correctly, we ask if that word might ever be a real word. If not, we add it to an active misspellings list. Now in the future cards with those misspellings must have an ACK of the misspelling (in a prompt, or perhaps stored on the card as ack_misspelling)

Probably also want a maintenance task to find these in old cards
