User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; he; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 GTB5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

The correct spelling of the word תווים is with two waw's. I've seen it spelled in Firefox as תוים with one waw. This is a common mistake, but the correct spelling according to the Academy's rules is with two waw's.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
It appears for example in תצוגה->קידוד תוים.
Actual Results:  
Written קידוד תוים

Expected Results:  
Should be קידוד תווים

Most likely all appearances of תוים should be replaced to תווים.

this probably dates back to Mozilla Application Suite. i used to use כתיב חסר when there was no confusion on how to read the word, like in this case.

Like Dan and Nadav, i'm a fan of the consistent spelling suggested by the Academy :)
