See Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings: D, M, P

For marking items which should not be corrected: {{not a typo}} and associated redirects.

Checked, OK

  • metalurg... (metallurgic), combined search, expect 11 including redirects
    • metalurgical (metallurgical)
    • metalurgy (metallurgy)
    • "metalic" (metallic)
      • lots of false positives because the search is "helpful" and returns metal too (User:Mild Bill Hiccup fixed that by adding quotes to various search terms – thanks)
    • metalicity is an alternative spelling (stress is on "icity")
    • may also occur as a typo for "metalled road"
  • ~"minerological" OR "minerologically" OR "minerologist" OR "minerogical" OR "minerologically" OR "minerology" (mineralogical etc) combined search, expect 9
    • minerological (mineralogical, mineralogically)
    • minerologist (mineralogist)
    • minerogical (mineralogical), one corrected, not in M list
    • minerology (mineralogy)
