A misspelling magnet

The generator records 5 spelling variants around also (IPA /ˈalzo/), anadverb. Corpus frequency is #15,982 among 1,900 “A” headwords. Wiktionary lists 2 senses, so context still picks the gloss.

Our generated misspelling index lists 5 likely wrong-spelling variants for also, with forms such as "allso", "alos", and "alsso". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "As", "ao", "ano", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is also, spelled A-L-S-O.
