automatic swear word replacer

There’s a reason the current system exists. There aren’t issues with it besides a few false positives. “Don’t fix what isn’t broken”

lets say you try to comment something containing the word duck but you typo and you type a bad word instead, it should replace the bad word with duck so you don't get muted
is it duck or is it luck or is it suck or is it tuck

a bot that scratch can afford probably can’t detect them
easy fix, when the bot can detect both words, add a popup that asks what word the commenter actually meant

That would highlight the bad word though, which would teach users the bad words.

what happens if someone actually meant the bad word? then we have effectively made a built-in bypass feature. how would we fix this?
