Spelling of some verbs

When I look at the verbs that are most often conjugated on Le Conjugueur, I sometimes see some spelling mistakes on frequent verbs: "courrir" instead of "courir", "ofrir" instead of "offrir" ... Obviously Le Conjugueur offers an automatic correction and shows the correct spelling.
