Our generated misspelling index lists 15 likely wrong-spelling variants for Georgetown, with forms such as "egorgetown", "geogretown", and "georegtown". 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. Our dataset records no confusable match here, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
