A misspelling magnet

The generator records 10 spelling variants around omnibus (IPA \ɔm.ni.bys\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #22,359 among 1,642 “O” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for omnibus, with forms such as "monibus", "ominbus", and "ommnibus". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "omnium", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is omnibus, spelled O-M-N-I-B-U-S.
