<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
<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>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
The heuristics of <a href="../man1/deroff.html"><i>deroff</i>(1)</a> used to excise formatting information
are imperfect.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
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>
