Our generated misspelling index lists 6 likely wrong-spelling variants for avec, with forms such as "abec", "aevc", and "avce". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ayer", "Aves", "aver", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
