These are the typo regular expressions for RegExTypoFix and wikEd, development is now open to the public.

Please add to or improve these regular expressions!

Adding/changing a misspelling

 * Go here to suggest a change if you don't know how to do it yourself. Knowledgeable users will add it for you and perhaps improve it.
 * Always consider the possibility of false positives—don't add if there is one
 * Check the Rejected Words list
 * Aim to have a single regular expression for each word if possible
 * Keep in mind every addition/possibility of a word taxes more CPU and slows the scanning process
 * Update the variable name if you change something that affects it

TODO:

 * Remove duplications.
 * Expand regular expressions to accept more suffixes (e.g., "-ing" "-ed" "-able").
 * Keep in mind some regular expressions purposely correct only certain versions of a word to avoid false positives. These should be marked with an underscore character "_" at the beginning or end of the  entry.
 * Remove any rare words.
