My Low-Tech Attempt to Automate Spellchecking

The author shares their experience of trying to automate spellchecking for their blog, highlighting limitations with available tools like aspell that produce many false positives. They explored using a neural network for better automation but faced hardware limitations. Eventually, they devised a simple, low-tech method by compiling lists of common misspellings and repetitive word patterns, which they found effective in reducing errors without generating false positives.
