Fréquence de l'aimant d'erreurs « trivial »
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 10 spelling variants around trivial (IPA \tʁi.vjal\), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #34,790 among 3,703 “T” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 10 likely wrong-spelling variants for trivial, with forms such as "rtivial", "tirvial", and "triival". 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 also participates in 3 confusable-pair relationships, "triviale", "trial", "tribal", where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is trivial, spelled T-R-I-V-I-A-L.
