succede vs. succeed - exceptions are for succedent (which most commonly appears in pages pertaining to astrology and logic), Italian variants of the word, and misspellings present in original quotes. 25 pages of search results - maybe 1/3-1/5 of hits required correction.
espacially vs. especially - 4 pages of search results - maybe 1/5 of hits required correction.
notewothy vs. noteworthy - only a trivial number of entries contained this misspelling. 1 page of search results.
Words containing the root heirarch vs. hierarch - ex. hierarchy, hierarchal, hierarchical, etc - completed. Only 1 page of entries and one had to be redirected via misspelling, to hierarchical classifier (in the process removing a redundant entry in need of wikifying to point to the correctly-spelled entry of substance). 10-ish pages of search results.
Words containing the root perciev vs. perceiv - 7 pages of search results, maybe 1/4 of hits required correction.
Words containing the root acheiv vs. achiev - 9 pages of search results, maybe 1/4-1/5 of hits required correction.
