Häufigkeitslage von Tippfehler-Magnet „progressiv“
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 15 spelling variants around progressiv (IPA [pʁoɡʁɛˈsiːf]), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #31,224 among 3,409 “P” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for progressiv, with forms such as "porgressiv", "pprogressiv", and "prgoressiv". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 4 confusable-pair relationships, "progressive", "progressiven", "progress", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is progressiv, spelled P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S-I-V.
