Reverse of the logic presented could be used to inject typos into a document per distributed copy of it to help identify anyone sharing documents online; basically each copy is unique to allow for attribution. Hash of each document could even be given to a third party and archived to provide if needed independent verification of the claim that the document and the document itself could be encrypted, loaded to another…
Although not a spell checker specifically, I wrote an offensive language filter for a chat system used by the National Hockey League for a period when they hosted communal chat rooms during televised games. The architecture I used is completely different from what is described here, but the goals are very similar. I had to handle any curse word in any language, including curses from one language translated into anoth…
Interesting. I had to write a badwords filter for a random name generator (for a procedural galaxy generator...) and it's quite a task just for English.

In a way, I'm surprised I can read this so easily. Do our brains read by converting text to sounds, and then parsing the sounds?

What is the application where typos in a document are acceptable?
His python code styling is really awesome. So concise. Probably inspired by all the LISP he wrote in the past. Although he does seem to be using doc strings incorrectly
return set(w for w in words if w in WORDS)
As for doc strings, well, this is just a toy piece of code after all. The main purpose for the code is to be read, instead of actually used. something something hobgoblin of little minds
Edit: formatting.
>>> import spell
>>> spell.correction('ducking')
'fucking'
