I happened upon this list of common misspellings just the other day. Not convinced that many of them would turn up frequently in code anyway, but it might be one place to start. Maybe different policies for different (natural) languages would be easiest?	[reply]

I’m dreaming since years about something like this: `use Acme::LapsusLinguae;`.

Interesting. This might give you some ideas, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2979174/how-do-i-compute-the-approximate-entropy-of-a-bit-string. Or maybe use a password strength checker. If it's too great of a password, maybe it's a terrible variable/package/hashkey name.	[reply]

Maybe a policy that prohibits variables within a given minimum Levenshtein distance? That might work regardless of language.	[reply]
