Hi Bob,
Apart from the ones already mentioned, there is also the/then,
suit/suite, fist/first, though/through, an/any and wok/work to add to
your list.
I also check for incorrect tense such as mentions/mentioned etc..
Cheers,
Bruce

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.

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?
