It was there from the first iteration of spelling a long time ago (the first iteration was just looking at misspelling frequencies, second iteration 12 years ago moved to understanding multiple spelling mistakes/mistypes)

If you see these kind of easy-to-correct mistakes, it probably means that the spell corrector wasn't given that big attention in the past 10 years.

I just realized that you wrote space....that’s harder as the spell corrector works on words separately :(

I was working on URL corrections part that didn’t need to use segmentation, so I don’t know the details though.
