correct

Finds the best correction for a single misspelled word using string distance
and frequency-based ranking from a sorted word list.

Automatically replaces "misspelled" words in a character vector
based on their string distance from a list of words sorted by their frequency
in a corpus. The default word list provided in the package comes from
the Corpus of Contemporary American English. Uses the Jaro-Winkler distance
metric for string similarity as implemented in van der Loo (2014)
<doi:10.32614/RJ-2014-011>. The word frequency data is derived from
Davies (2008-) "The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA)"
