    Thumbs-up because it discusses the probability algorithms for matching near-spellings. I wanna come back to this.

    Wow. I feel ashamed at how childishly happy and intrigued I was while reading that article.

    From the page: "I figured they and many others could benefit from an explanation. The full details of an industrial-strength spell corrector like Google's would be more confusing than enlightening, but I figured that on the plane flight home, in less than a page of code, I could write a toy spelling corrector that achieves 80 or 90% accuracy at a processing speed of at least 10 words per second."Lovely and nifty tutorial. Makes you realize that there are simple solutions out there. Tackling a problem directly and without any out of the box thinking wouldnt result in a creative solution.
