Frequência do íman ortográfico “common”
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 7 spelling variants around common (IPA /ˈkɑ.mən/), anadjective. Corpus frequency is #17,998 among 2,140 “C” headwords. Wiktionary lists 5 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for common, with forms such as "ccommon", "cmomon", and "commno". 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 3 confusable-pair relationships, "como", "compor", "comme", 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, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Portuguese form is common, spelled C-O-M-M-O-N.
