Hi Dan,
It's a blunt instrument, but an instrument. All you do is a standard Google
search. Perhaps you hadn't noticed that on the right in the blueish bar
above the results it says something like "Results 1-10 of about 29,300" (for
"sparrrow"), as compared with "Results 1-10 of about 14,000,000" (for
"sparrow"). How many of the 0.5% with three "r"s are wrongly spelt, and how
many are correct for some obscure reason is a more tricky question.

                                    
All the best
