Debbie,
I expect that managment would be spotted by a spell checker.
I meant words that are correctly spelled and should be spotted by an editor
or proofreader but not a spellchecker.  Both from and form could be in the
same sentence, but if one was typed wrongly, it may be overlooked by the
writer.   This is why I specifically looked for them.

 hi Bob
I seem to always type managment instead of management.
Cheers

Years ago, I had a list of words to look for when doing a final spell and
'sensibility' check.
I looked for every filed/field, form/ from, disk/dick (yes it went out in
a doc, something about floppy dicks … I am not making this up) and a heap of
others,  many of them anagrams.

Does anyone have a list of tricky words to look out for?
