Hello,
I have a list of names, some of which are misspelled in various ways:

benno friedrich toermer
benno friedrich tormer
benno geiger
benno sachs
benny pinabuka
benny setiawan
benny tipungwuti
benny tjapaltjarri
benny van groeningen
benny van gröningen
bozidar jakac
božidar jakac
brad david
brad davis
bradley walker tomlin
bradley walter tomlin
braida stanley
braida stanley creek
bram de jong
bram de jonge
etc. (I have selected a couple of examples and put them together)

Is there an easy way to find these instances and to delete them?
Thank you,
joris
