I am looking to create/obtain a list and/or database of the most
commonly typed typos and/or misspelling in English with the QWERTY
keyboard. I'd like to be educated not only with a list of the most
commonly misspelled words by mental error (such as acheive instead of
achieve), but more specifically with hand-positioning and/or
keypress-timing errors such as the following various for "hello" as
likely regularly mistaken on QWERTY keyboards:

helo
gwkki
jr;;p
hekko
helli
etc.

Of course these are extremely lame examples and probably invalid
examples of common typos while attempting to execute "hello", I think
it provides at least a basic understanding of what I'm looking for.

I know MS Word offers a feature called "AutoComplete" which replaces
common typos with the correct word and I'll be referencing this as a
resource... but the more resources and/or paths which you can open up
for me, the better.

Thanks.
