A misspelling magnet

The generator records 13 spelling variants around automation (IPA \o.tɔ.ma.sjɔ̃\), anoun. Corpus frequency is #49,505 among 6,727 “A” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Automatisation.".

Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for automation, with forms such as "atuomation", "auotmation", and "autmoation". 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 is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
