Typo Corrector
Sometimes, typos happen. You try and try to have the best typing and spelling on your server, and you try to be professional, but then you'll be at peak times, trying to answer everyone's questions, and a typo or two will just slip out. It's okay. Typo Corrector is here to help.
How it works
Typo Corrector fetches a list of common typos and misspellings from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/For_machines
It stores these locally, and whenever a player chats, it replaces any typos with the correct spelling, maintaining capitalization and keeping you professional in chat.
Permissions
"typo.correct" - Players with this permission will have typos corrected. Players without will not have their chat modified.
I just came across a server running this and it actually is a bit irritating how chat takes like 300ms to complete, making the server appear very laggy. The idea is good but iterating that giant list on every chat is simply a hefty task and will lag most servers chat.

I... wouldn't call myself a beginning author. I've been developing bukkit plugins for something like a year and a half.
I love all plugins from beginning authors! Though I don't really have any use for this as I run a very small server, I can bet it's awesome because your just starting out (I think.)
@Techwiz100
Thanks. Expect some changes soon that will blow yo' mind.
Very nice plugin, As the owner of a large server I eventually make a typo while answering a million questions a minute. Combined with my naturally bad spelling this plugin will be a very welcome addition to my server. Keep up the good work!

Auto-correct in Firefox assumes that you can look at the corrections it does. The list I have is the least invasive, and it won't make you look like and idiot. (Have you seen iPhone autocorrect images?)
The goal wasn't to fix every typo, or to help people with absolutely horrible spelling. It's to help admins who type fast and always make the most common mistakes in the book.

I'm not being negative... You know it could be improved. Maybe use different lists of words, that you could maybe get from some auto corrector(maybe Firefox's).
@WarmakerT
Are you always negative? You haven't even used it yet.
@Evanito
It's taking a while to get approval, it should be ready to download soon.

The Wikipedia list is pretty good, though I may supplement it with my own list.
I would suggest eventually making your own file for common misspells or get someone like me to do it for you, this seems like a good idea and I would be happy to beta test
This seems amazing, wheres the download? (PM me)
Good, but it could be improved, a lot.
