Fix all typed word automatically to "closest" match from dictionary  #40

The basic idea is that when i type a word that doesn't exist like: "someting" then I want an aggressive fix to the closest match in the dictionary.

Run each typed word through a dictionary of words and automatically fix it to the "closest" match.

To start out we can use a specific English dictionary.

Things out of scope for now:

  • capitalization "Someting" can be fixed to "something"
  • Only is triggers a new word. "someting " will be fixed, "someting." will not be fixed
  • run through spell check to find most likely fix

I don't know how we determine if a word is "close" yet.

Ideally we'd take into account the closeness of letters. For example "telescipe" instead of "telescope" the iis right next to the o so it's the most likely typo.

We do not have to start this way.
