No matter how advanced technology gets, I can misspell “bureaucracy” and related words badly enough that spell checkers conclude that I’ve switched to another language.

@acowley It's the worst word in the English language for spelling by far.

@djspiewak I don’t know why spell checkers don’t have a regex like b.*r.*cy that would at least throw it into the suggestion list. Or even just at some number of characters after a “b,” that’s probably the word I’m aiming for.

@acowley It's got to be such a common error that it really would be worth it. “Huh, starts with b, ends with y, has a ton of vowels… there's only possible auto-completion here”
