No way…”teh” isn’t in the list?? I refuse to believe it.
A quick Google comes up with 971k — but I’d almost rank that as a typo, not a spelling error. Nobody really thinks that’s the way you spell it, which is true for the “main” list.
The 971k also includes a lot of legitimate names and acroynms, not just misspellings.
I actually use Google as a spell checker for single words I am not sure of. Works great!
Well, it would work great as long as it’s not frequently misspelled the way you’re trying (e.g., “seperate”).
