A misspelling magnet

The generator records 7 spelling variants around Roissy (IPA \ʁwa.si\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #19,663 among 5,742 “R” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for Roissy, with forms such as "orissy", "riossy", and "roissyy".
