YoThere are lots of them most of which can be found with the find replace command. Fixing them can be done with replace but not always with global replace unless you are very very sure of yourself.

Things wich do work in global replace include
"1 have" "1 am" "1 was" with "I am "I have" and so forth. The best thing to do if you find 1 being used instead of I is to do find on "1 " and replace each singly. This is tedious but sometimes global replace of 1 with I can make a mess.


rn is often used instead of m leading to cornputer, cornmand and so on including wornan and rnan for woman and man. Again if you notice rn for m as a pattern you may want to check each occurring rn combination individually instead of using global replace.

tlie for the
die for the resulting in "of die" and soon.
Be careful not to use global replace here since die really is a real word.



"- " or " -" in the middle of words.

These are a few but they will help get you started I hope.

all the best,
