Alternate spellings of words

Is there something that can be done about accepting alternate spellings of the same word? I had one where I would have reached a pb with disk but I wrote disc. Also, from others who have used ML for longer, how often do you have these issues?

That’s all part of it. You have to remember the way it is spelled in the list. It’s the same with Names: you’ll see Catherine, Cathy, Kathy, Katherine, and Kathryn. If you misspell it, you don’t get the point. You just have to make a mental note of the spelling. I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve mixed up the spelling of Delores/Dolores.
