Why 'pubic' slips past spellcheck

I still run a final ‘pubic’ scan before publishing because spellcheck won’t flag it; it saved a city report at 11:47 p.m. last month. What other real-word traps do you search for every time?

I always do a quick search for “manger” because “product manger” and “account manger” skate by; if it isn’t near words like hay or stall, I change it to manager. Do you treat your “pubic” pass the same way, or do you whitelist biology contexts?

Same here — after a “pubic” scan, my 11:47 p.m. pass is a regex sweep for “form/from” and “trial/trail.” I keep a tiny “danger words” list for Find, but it’s brittle; LanguageTool’s confused-words check helps in context: https://languagetool.org. If you’re doing city reports, add “stationary/stationery” to the must-scan list.
