We can correct spelling errors in Wikipedia easily when we come across them, or we can search for common spelling errors directly. When you search for an error, be sure to use the "Search" button instead of the "Go" button, otherwise it might just correct your spelling.

Targeted spell-checking
Some good options for targeted spell-checking:
 * univeristy, libray, encyclopeida
 * any misspelling of a month or day of the week
 * any word that you commonly mistype (mine is "damange")

Tools
If you need ideas, check Wikipedia's Lists of common misspellings.
