User:Inductiveload/Sandbox/long-s hypercorrections

This is a list of all words where a naive replacement of  could result in a "hyper-correction" (i.e. the f might be correct). There are under 1000 from an English word list.

Mostly, they are either commonly correct either way ("four"/"sour") or the f is likely correct and the s-word being rare "forefinger"/"foresinger"). Other times, you might judge the hypercorrection more likely to be correct than the word with the 'f' (e.g. "coft" and "blufter").

English
Wordlist merged, because the long list has, e.g. "Four" and not "four", and the comparison is case-sensitive to allow proper nouns to remain separate (e.g. "Afar" could be a hypercorrection, but "afar" is not).
