I always correct spelling errors in works when I see them.
Yes, if there is a spelling error and the similar threads have already been created, the similar thread entry for that post will need to be rebuilt to get a more accurate match.
If there is a spelling error in the title, and the similar thread entry is created / calculated, then of course it will have poor matches. Changing the spelling is good, but the entry for similar threads in the DB entry for that thread will be "off" until the DB is rebuilt.
So best to always correct spelling, and then later when the DB is updated (similar threads rebuilt) the new matches will be much better.

Hello.
I have redesigned our "similar threads" for a more "clean style" in both the desktop view and the mobile view for the forum "show thread".
The new design is a simple straight-forward use of div elements and all the legacy table elements have been removed.
The result is a "clean"... (7 Replies)

NAME
POFileSpell - checks the spelling in a collection of PO files
SYNOPSIS
POFileSpell [OPTION] [...] [FILE] [...]
INTRODUCTION
POFileSpell checks the spelling in a collection of PO files.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--help or -h
show usage instructions
--interactive or -i
interactive mode, iterate through the spelling errors using a text mode interface; see the Interactive Mode section
--overview or -o
generate an overview file, grouping by error and not by file
--dict=file or -d file
load a file with a list of words to consider correct; can be used multiple times
--batch-add=file
load a file with a list of words to add to the X-POFile-SpellExtra section of each of the target PO files; can be used multiple
times; when used, the actual spelling process is not run
--command=command
the command used for actually spell checking the text, by default aspell --encoding=utf-8 -l; if you want to use ispell, try
something like --comand="ispell -l" or --comand="iconv -t iso-8859-1 | ispell -l"
INTERACTIVE MODE
In interactive mode you iterate through each of the errors found. In each prompt you can press a to add the word to a file's
X-POFile-SpellExtra entry, n to ignore all further errors from this file, Enter to ignore this error or, if you are using one or more
dictionary files, the number of the file (1, 2, ...) to add the word to that dictionary file.
PO FILE HEADER DIRECTIVES
POFileSpell recognizes one PO file header directive. As with all gettext lint tools, this directive is prefixed with X-POFile.
X-POFile-SpellExtra: word
adds the word to the file's list of accepted words
DICTIONARY FILE FORMAT
Dictionary files are just lists of words, one on each line. For example:
word 1
word 2
word n
