:Fixed "Literally" so it will find upper and lower case. Are you testing your regexes using AWB's regex tester? [[User:GoingBatty|GoingBatty]] ([[User talk:GoingBatty|talk]]) 13:48, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
A style suggestion: Set each rule so that the replace field has only $1 and $2, and not jump from $1 to, say, $5. Then if someone later makes a change, they won't have to count whether $5 has to be increased to $6. For example:
<source lang="xml">
<Typo word="Illiterate" find="\b([Ii]l)(?:[aeoi]t[aeio]r[aeio]|l(?:[aeo]tera|it[aio]ra|iter[eio]))te?(ly|ness|s?)\b" replace="$1literate$2"/>
</source>
Also, "altho" is not incorrect: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/altho
Have you checked to see whether all these errors actually occur in wikipedia?
Is "ambivilent" really a word? It's not in my gigantic dead-tree dictionary, and the two only occurrences I find in wikipedia are errors for "ambivalent". Even if it is a real word, I wouldn't create a rule for it, as it is apparently exceedingly rare.--[[User:BillFlis|BillFlis]] ([[User talk:BillFlis|talk]]) 14:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
