<i>Spell</i> looks up words from the named <i>files</i> (standard input default)
|
|
in a spelling list and places possible misspellings--words not sanctioned
|
|
there--on the standard output.
|
|
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
|
|
|
|
<i>Spell</i> ignores constructs of <a href="../man1/troff.html"><i>troff</i>(1)</a> and its standard preprocessors.
|
|
It understands these options:<br>
|
|
<tt><font size=+1>−b</font></tt> Check British spelling.<br>
|
|
<tt><font size=+1>−v</font></tt> Print all words not literally in the spelling list, with derivations.<br>
|
|
<tt><font size=+1>−x</font></tt> Print, marked with <tt><font size=+1>=</font></tt>, every stem as it is looked up in the spelling
|
|
list, along with its affix classes.
|
|
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
|
|
|
|
As a matter of policy, <i>spell</i> 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).<br>

The heuristics of <a href="../man1/deroff.html"><i>deroff</i>(1)</a> used to excise formatting information

are imperfect.

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.<br>
