Hello,

thanks for the report.

It doesn't attempt to identify all misspelled words, only those that are commonly misspelled that have one likely correct spelling. But is a what is common? Hard to say. I looked at a few existing lists, and scanned a few billion reddit messages and took the most common. And then I focus on one mostly found in software related fields. I've also found native English writers make completely different errors than non-native ones.

Anyhow again thanks the report:

fathor -- is it father or father? I don't know. Not sure how common this misspelling is.

inplement ,applicatoin -- happy to add these.

than again if you want, true spell-checking, check out aspell but prepare to be even more disappointed :-(

thanks again!
