As I was reading the article, I heard "git git git git" in the glitch audio form in my head... anyone?

I heard Desiigner.. completed the title in my head with "I got broads in Atlanta"

I can't hear that one without thinking of this :D

Relatable. For years, I aliased mroe to more. Now I alias mroe and more to less. My wife drafts a lot of legal documents, and has a problem with "doe snot". Which unfortunately the spelling checker is perfectly happy with.

There's defintitely room for an advanced spell checker that can say "This is valid, but probably wrong".

I just ran across Language Tool[0] recently. Free, open-source proofreading lib, can be run totally locally. Uses Google Ngrams to check for often confused words. Didn't correct "doe snot" in my synthetic test just now, but that seems like a plausibly minor extension of existing functionality.

erm, "git git foo"; in most shells can be fixed with "!*" as your next command. Repeat until lameness subsides. Seriously though, I don't understand why people want to hide obvious errors like this - I'd much rather have the tool fail to execute than potentially perform some action I wasn't expecting.

Exactly. If anything I appreciate when errors are _highlighted_ a la `sl` (Steam locomotive) for `ls` or the `gti` for `git` that has a golf gti run across the screen

The spelling checker in Word has some grammar rules, try to configure those if she uses Word.

Hey, don't forget about zsh with a highlighting plugin! :)

I'm using this without problems, and it's so comfortable to see the red highlighting when you mistyped: https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting

That's actually EXACTLY what I had in mind. The fast version is so much better! :)

What kind of evil system ships with both vi and vim?

OpenBSD comes standard with vi. Vim is a package.

Debian is the same way. But as soon as you open a file with vi on a fresh install, you know it isn't vim, so you close the editor, install vim, and then the vi command opens vim.
