This is for an educational program in which the user is asked to type
things and have the answer validated. I can manage alternative
spellings, but if the user types "ikipedia" when the answer is
"Wikipedia", I'd like to do something special. I tried to search for
this, but I don't know what it's called. Would appreciate some pointers
or examples here.

Yes, thanks to a search on soundex algorithms I actually found
Levenshtein distance all by myself. It's great. I don't understand it
100%, but it works... :-)
