If you're ever looking to get involved in open-source, but don't want to get too involved, search GitHub for common typos.

For instance, `document.body` is fairly common in JS. Unfortunately, so is `document.boyd` :)

Easy way to find people in need.

@sai I've spoken at conferences where people said their inexperience prevented them from contributing to open source. I told them if they can spell, they're ready to commit :)
