Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for teas is neighbouring look-alikes ("TS", "ten", …), not just typos; it is anoun pronounced /tiːz/. Frequency #23,414 among 3,151 “T” headwords. Gloss: "plural of tea".
Our generated misspelling index lists 3 likely wrong-spelling variants for teas, with forms such as "taes", "teass", and "tteas". 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 20 confusable-pair relationships, "TS", "ten", "Ted", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
