There are indeed other typos, but let's start with the letter "A" for now...
Avalikmom already pointed out these two words, but since "abstract" and "accessories" already exists, then, to avoid repetitions, "abstact" and "accecories" should be simply deleted (not corrected and kept). By the way, "adbstract", "astract", "abstrac", "abstrack" and "abstracr" should be deleted too.
Here are other tags that should be deleted, because the proper spelling already exists: abll, accountion, afce, agressive, ahnd, aladin, albatros, aligator, amn, apicture, appartment, aps, apsta, aque, arroe, auti.
Maybe this one should be deleted too; it is too specific and there is no logo associated with it: 4WD.
Here are some tags that should be simply corrected:
afroamerican -> Afro-American
aircondition -> air-condition
Agression - > aggression
avantgarde -> avant-garde
Is it possible to update all tagged logos with the proper word before deleting/correcting the typos?
During this exercise, I have noticed that several users are lucky enough to have more than ten tags. Most probably they had them before the revamp and never fixed them. I know this because, even if only ten tags appear under a particular logo, several other tags are still linked to said logo. I don't have a problem with this slight advantage, but I figure I should point it out.
Finally, there are some words that are repeated with only a difference in capitalization (e.g., accounting and Accounting), other words are repeated without any difference (e.g., apparel and apparel). Should I flag them in future reports?
Peace,

It would also be nice to add some more relevant tags, like globe and sphere. The choice right now is circle. If I were I client looking for a globe I wouldn't want to see every logo that has a circle.
But "globe" and "sphere" had been there since the beginning; years ago.
? But when I try to add globe or sphere to the tags, neither comes up as an option.
Weird. It works for me... I just tried.
Here's the list of letter "B" typos...
Here are some tags that should be deleted because the proper spelling already exists; this is clear when you see a particular tag in context and the logos associated with it: baal, baggag, ballon, baloon, bandaid, Bargin, bastract, beaty, beduin, birt, blak, ble, Body Building, bot, bracklet, brither, bsatract, bstract, bue, buiness, buisness, bulding, busines, businiess, bussines.
Here's an interesting one that should be deleted, this typo has two words, one period and one space; both words already exist: "binoculars. hiking"
Here's another interesting one that should be deleted, it has a greater-than sign in it and the proper word already exists: "boat>"
Here are some tags that should be simply corrected:
BlueStar -> blue star
bungalwo -> bungalow
burito -> burrito
Maybe these should be deleted too; they are too specific: "Barn door tv" and "bebe"

I think there is an advantage to keeping common misspellings of words: baal (is that misspelled?), bandaid, bot (internet bots, automated scripts)...
(on/off topic: I do wish the search return page showed your search term -- it makes the search process so much easier if you can fix misspellings, add/remove words, etc.)
You have a good point to keeping common misspellings, but maybe this could be done in a different way... As it is now, the logos are divided into several typos, so a client that misspells a word will not get the same results as a client that spells the word properly (or another one that misspells it differently). Ivan, is there a way to auto-correct searches? This might be hard to implement.
When you enter a typo in Google, it auto-corrects it and offers to search for original typo:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=businiess
Other companies, simply keep the typos, like iStock: http://www.istockphoto.com/search/text/businiess/
But when a client finds only one result for such a common term, he/she might realize the typo (http://stocklogos.com/logos/search?keys=businiess). This will be particularly true, if the search return page shows the search term, as you (and others) have suggested. Just like when clicking on a tag: http://stocklogos.com/category/businiess
On the other hand, if we fix ALL the typos, then those terms will return zero results and the client will sooner or later realize that he/she misspelled the word... Just thinking out loud...
By the way...
"baal" is a misspelled version of "ball" (http://stocklogos.com/category/baal)
"bot", in this case, was a misspelled version of "boat" (http://stocklogos.com/category/bot). But you are right, we should keep "bot" and simply update that particular boat logo with the proper tag.
Peace,
Spintherism.
Good points. I prefer to clean it out I think.
What will happen to the misspelled tags in logos?
Here's the list of letter "C" typos...
Here are some tags that should be deleted because the proper spelling already exists; this is clear when you see a particular tag in context and the logos associated with it: caffee, cah, calender, camea, captan, cemetary, chanel, characater, chello, chidren, childrens, chilli, chlothes, churc, cicle, cilinder, circl, clohing, coala, coffe, coffeeb, collectiom, colofrul, coloful, colorfil, colorfull, colorul, Comunication, confference, coooffe, cormer, crcle, cume, cyrcles.
Here are some tags that should be simply corrected:
calygraphic -> calligraphic
crustea -> crustacea and/or crustacean
These are typos that are composed of two words that already exist, in other words, there was a comma and/or some letters missing: "chicken poult", clinicmother,
Maybe these should be deleted too; they are too specific: caracol, cervello, "Choi Kwang D", cobone, cocotone, corelDRAW.
Peace,
Spintherism.
