Where “Microsoft” sits in French frequency
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 14 spelling variants around Microsoft (IPA \ˈmaɪkɹəˌsɔft\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #4,874 among 5,038 “M” headwords. Dominant gloss: "Entreprise informatique américaine, qui édite en particulier le système d'exploitation Microsoft Windows et la suite logicielle Microsoft Office.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for Microsoft, with forms such as "imcrosoft", "mcirosoft", and "miccrosoft". 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. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling pattern is best understood through pronunciation rather than a traceable origin. The correct French form is Microsoft, spelled M-I-C-R-O-S-O-F-T.
