Description

I was watching a YouTube video by a coder with a strong Finnish accent and it sounded like he was saying "at lest" instead of "at least". I wasn't sure if it was just his accent or whether he was overanalyzing based on knowledge that English has a "fancy" word "lest".

Upon Googling I found it to be pretty common. More common than "at leas".

I tried to extend AtLestToLeast.weir to support both mistakes but either Weir doesn't support that or I just couldn't figure out how.

I decided that unlike "at leas" which is obviously a typo, that "at lest" is more likely to be a hypercorrection/overthinking, so I went with "Usage" instead of "Typo".

How Has This Been Tested?

I added two unit tests using sentences from GitHub.
