So my kid was working on typing up her science fair project description the other day, and she wanted to use the word "separate" -- the adjective, pronounced ˈse-p(ə-)rət.

She wasn't sure how to spell it, so she went with "seprit", as one might imagine an eight-year-old would. Google Docs put a red squiggle under it. Unhelpfully, the suggested correction was "esprit".

Are there spell-checkers that are designed for the kinds of spelling errors that an eight-year-old kid might make?
