NAME
+ +
+ + spell, sprog – find spelling errors
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + spell [ options ] ... [ file ] ... +
+ + sprog [ options ] [ −f file ]
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Spell looks up words from the named files (standard input default) + in a spelling list and places possible misspellings--words not sanctioned + there--on the standard output. +
+ + Spell ignores constructs of troff(1) and its standard preprocessors. + It understands these options:
+ −b    Check British spelling.
+ −v    Print all words not literally in the spelling list, with derivations.
+ −x    Print, marked with =, every stem as it is looked up in the spelling + list, along with its affix classes. +
+ + As a matter of policy, 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).
+ +

BUGS
+ +
+ + The heuristics of deroff(1) 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.
