Spelling

Fix your spelling.

Description

Will attempt to correct a users’ spelling by using the levenshtein distance algorithm. One corrects the spelling of their previous message by simply posting a message with their correction and an asterisk:

> user: I am a tutrle.
> user: *turtle
user meant: I am a turtle.

The regular expression for this module also accepts two asterisks at the beginning of the correction, or at the end; it also accepts several words as the correction and deals with these fairly intelligently. Users may also attempt to correct another users like so:

> userone: I am a tutrle.
> usertwo: userone: *turtle
> usertwo thinks userone meant: I am a turtle.
