Consider these two WikiTopics - TeamInAction vs. TeamInaction. One topic or two?
Answer: one.
In French, faux amis [foh-ah-mee], literally 'false friends,' are false cognates: words which look or sound the same in two languages, but have little or no relationship to one another. For example, an English speaker might hear the French compréhensif (understanding, as in an understanding friend) and incorrectly assume it to be a cognate for the English comprehensive (complete, as in a comprehensive list.) It happens all the time when people learn languages that are related.
An artifact of FlexWiki storing WikiTopics as files in the file system is that WikiTopics are actually case-insensitive. Thus FleXwiki and FlexwIki are synonymous with FlexWiki: FlexWiki cannot tell them apart. Click these false spellings of the FlexWiki topic to see a bit of mischief in the topic displayed on the page.
WikiFauxAmis are completely different from FauxTopicNames.
