You can use censor system from backend. Or you can do a find and replace in post table from phpmyadmin. First one is safer option.

Thank you! Silly me. )
So after I set words to censor / replacements, I probably need to run "rebuild" tool, but I don't see anything like "rebuild posts". AM I trapping? Where is it?

It doesn't really change the content of the posts. It probably makes the change at load time... So there is no risk of any mistake and all future typos are automatically fixed as well.

The permanent option is to do a find and replace in database. BUT... this is best used with words that you are sure are safe to replace.

I tend to avoid making text change using this option. I do use it for domain changes regularly. Like converting

yeah. it is kind of a risky thing to run. can potentially break urls, images, embeds and god knows what else. does come handy if you want to remove traces of a username from quotes and mentions if the username is unique enough.
in your case, censor is probably the safer option as it would work for new typos as well.
