.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.I Spell
|
||||
looks up words from the named
|
||||
.I files
|
||||
(standard input default)
|
||||
in a spelling list and places
|
||||
possible misspellings\(emwords
|
||||
not sanctioned there\(emon the standard output.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.I Spell
|
||||
ignores constructs of
|
||||
.IR troff (1)
|
||||
and its standard preprocessors.
|
||||
It understands these options:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B -b
|
||||
Check British spelling.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B -v
|
||||
Print all words not literally in the spelling list, with
|
||||
derivations.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B -x
|
||||
Print, marked with
|
||||
.LR = ,
|
||||
every stem as it is looked up in the spelling list,
|
||||
along with its affix classes.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
As a matter of policy,
|
||||
.I spell
|
||||
does not admit multiple spellings of the same word.
|
||||
Variants that follow general rules are preferred
|
||||
over those that don't, even when the unruly spelling is
|
||||
more common.
|
||||
Thus, in American usage, `modelled', `sizeable', and `judgment' are
|
||||
rejected in favor of `modeled', `sizable', and `judgement'.
|
||||
Agglutinated variants are shunned: `crewmember' and `backyard'
|
||||
cede to `crew member' and `back yard' (noun) or `back-yard'
|
||||
(adjective).

The actual spelling checker.
|

It expects one word per line on standard input,

and takes the same arguments as

.IR spell .

.SH BUGS
|
||||
The heuristics of
|
||||
.IR deroff (1)
|
||||
used to excise formatting information are imperfect.
|
||||
.br
|
||||
The spelling list's coverage is uneven;
|
||||
in particular biology, medicine, and chemistry, and
|
||||
perforce proper names,
|
||||
not to mention languages other than English,
|
||||
are covered very lightly.
