Among the small subset of words that have variations, most have only two anyhow. And compared to a typo, both have about the same effect in terms of matching searches. If you feel uncomfortable deciding on a variation you could also leave words that have them untouched – the change doesn't need to be total to reap this particular benefit. | |
