Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for Lacroix, with forms such as "alcroix", "laccroix", and "lacorix". 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.
