This could be fun... :)  For this problem, all you have to do is 
a big "if/elif/else" statement for every possible mis-spelling. 
If you want to get really fancy, you could put all the 
mis-spellings in a set() and then test the incoming word against 
the set for membership...For bonus points, you could use the 
anydbm module as a mapping from known-bad-spellings to the 
correct spelling so it can auto-correct for you...

Then you know if the word is mis-spelled.  The rest is pretty 
easy. ;-)
