Не нужно банальностей: не пиши капсом, не вставляй Comic Sans, не сыпь ошибками. Это всё слишком топорно. Включи изящную пакость: добавь после каждой буквы <strong>невидимый, непробельный, нерушимый символ</strong> — <strong>U+2060</strong>! А лучше несколько.</p><p><strong>В чём суть?</strong></p><ul><li>Его не видно даже в режиме показа непечатных символов.</li><li>Все буквы разделены, так что проверка орфографии предательски молчит.</li><li>Внешне слово выглядит нормально, но ломает поиск. </li><li>Курсор тупо застревает в тексте, что-то исправить нереально.</li><li>Статистика не считает этот символ пробелом, так что число символов покажет такое, что Толстой позавидует.</li></ul><p><strong>Пример:</strong></p><pre><code>Привет, редактор!
