I just came across search spell, a service that intelligently permutes words into their mispellings for Search Engine Optimization. It actually does a pretty good job. Writing “elliott” into their machine gives me:

elliott, ellott, ellitt, leliott, erliott, leriott, leriot, elliot, leliot, erliot, eliott, eriott, leiott, eliot, eriot, leiot, 311ott, e11ott, el1ott, ellitot, elloitt, elilott

This is a pretty impressive list of mispellings. It pretty much covers any omission of permutation of the letters. Would you believe “elilott” has 304 hits in Google? Talk about information overload!
