Feild of ornage folwers and architetcure

[geogphotos]

ornage = 2,296

architetcure = 728

folwer = 330

feild = 8,320 (but some are surnames)

Beautifull = 32,243

 

and the winner so far is

 

enviroment = 172,547

 

Please suggest others. I have just fixed my 'architetcure' ones

‘enviroment’ is an odd one. Would anyone pronounce it as it is misspelled, without the ‘n’?

 

’accomodation’ is a common misspelling - 61,348 examples on Alamy. Makes sense to put correct and incorrect forms when keywording, I think.

Thanks for that. I had two images which had both 'acommodation' and ' accomodation'.

 

I certainly do not intend to include incorrect spellings.

grafitti = 56,082

 

This one is a personal fave. I always include it.

[John Mitchell]

form above = 26,744

 

As in "Toronto form above"

 

P.S. of course there's also 'form below' = 9612

I am not averse (avverse) to including misspellings (mispellings) if it is going to produce a license (lisence) fee.

I know! I know! there is only one misspleling of my name.

I have seen images come up for the misspelling of Knarsborough!

 

It's me again.

Yes I understand the point about common misspellings but I was highlighting obvious typos. 

[John Mitchell]

Here's a good one -- "panormic" = 503

So we have to add 'not enough typos in our tags' to our failings? A shopping tip is to search misspellings on Ebay auction listings. Gold soveriegns, for example.

Hi All, 

 

Thanks for flagging, as you know we rely on our contributors to correctly caption and tag their own images. This is a good reminder of why you should caption and keyword accurately as these images wouldn't come up in the search if the customer was using the correct spelling, so recommend anyone reading this thread to check the spelling of words in their own accounts.

 

Thanks,

Chantelle

My son once bought a windsurfer dead cheap because he and the seller had made the same spelling mistake: windsuffer. Presumably no other potential buyers even found the listing...

Yup!  I can't remember them all on the spur of the moment.

 

And to answer Alamy while with you John.  I do try to make sure all keywords are spelt correctly.  I only add in a missplelling if I think it miht be appropriate.

I couldn't resist searching for 'miht' and I found this lovely stuff:

Not sure how people find their mis-spellings and typos but you could download the data csv, turn it into a spreadsheet and run a spell checker down the Caption column and then down the Tags column. I suggest adding an extra column and putting an 'x' in it for every image that has a problem so that you can get a list of Image IDs to check and correct.

 

I've just done that with mine and found 75 images to correct, just typos, it took about 10 minutes though it will take a bit longer than that to correct them.

 

I cann tell you, it was a revvellation.

One of mine was 'publc swimming, could have been worse I suppose.

A spell checker should pick up misspellings but it won’t necessarily find typos - ‘bit’ where ‘but’ was intended, for example.

Yes, nothing's perfect, a lot of those won't matter though. Incidentally I don't mean that it is necessary to engage with the spell-checker in terms of adding, removing, changing etc. , just visually scanning the highlighted words. Many of these will be foreign spellings, latin names etc. so can be ignored. I personally just convert the image ids into a text string where the ids are separated by ' OR ' and paste that into Image Manager, only 24 at a time though. The Alamy/Lightroom Bridge plugin would be better because you find many hundreds if not thousands of images by pasting in a comma-separated list of image ids, correct in Lightroom and then synchronise with Alamy.

 

Is there a way to find typos that actually exist as a word? ChatGPT?!

Isn't "spelt" and ancient grain?

 

It's "spelled correctly" on this side of the pond.

It is an old wheat. And spelt is a British spelling too according to the Oxford dictionary.  Yes I had to fish it out from the bookcase.

Just kidding of course. Those old spellings have pretty much fallen out of use in Canada -- "amongst" is another one, replaced by "among". Those ancient grains are supposed to be good for you, so don't stop eating them. 😉

That's all we can get just now. Bleh!

How about maintainance?

Every time I write this word I realise immediatelly I've made a spelling mistake. 

And I correct it immediately 🙂

Great idea. Did you find a way to add the 'x' automatically in the extra column? I think I'll give it a go. Main problem will be that I'm sure my spellchucker will flag lots of those latin species names andUK place names.
