An interesting problem (2)

Patricia often misspells the word MISSPELL. How many ways are there to misspell the word MISSPELL if all of the correct letters are used but are placed in the wrong order?

MISSPELL has 8 letters with 2 S’s and two L’s. 8!/(4!2!) = 10,080 arrangements, but one of these is the correct spelling, so there are 10,079 misspellings in total.
