A misspelling magnet

Our generated misspelling index lists 7 likely wrong-spelling variants for there, with forms such as "htere", "tehre", and "theer".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "tre", "they", "torre", and more, where similar look or sound leads writers to substitute one word for another in context.
