Whoever misspells Wii is an idiot and shouldn't even be allowed to use sites like eBay and Craigslist

1) Fat fingers is only typos, this adds phonetic misspellings. 2) This does Craigslist as well.

Yeah, but I mean the algorithm that replaces letters in order to form the correct word. Does it just replace specific commonly typoed letters?
