1*44258Sbostic Changes in the wordlists used by "spell" -- March 1987 2*44258Sbostic 3*44258Sbostic(a) Words to be added to /usr/dict/words: 4*44258Sbostic 5*44258Sbostic(a1) First, the straightforward cases: useful words not previously 6*44258Sbosticaccepted by "spell". Most were obtained by reading issues of Natural 7*44258SbosticHistory Magazine (and also one book on India) at the terminal, and 8*44258Sbostictyping in words that I guessed might be missing but that seemed common 9*44258Sbosticenough to be worth including. Others came up in different ways, such 10*44258Sbosticas thinking about the algorithms "spell" must use to get derived forms, 11*44258Sbosticguessing at loopholes, and testing them out. Whenever I had a list of 12*44258Sbostictwenty or thirty words, I would run "spell" on it, and add the results 13*44258Sbosticto my collection. 14*44258Sbostic 15*44258Sbosticabhor abjure abnegation

being added to 197*44258Sbostic/usr/dict/words. The former file is being removed (see point (f3) 198*44258Sbosticbelow); the following words which it contained are being added to 199*44258Sbostic/usr/dict/words because they are common English words not already in 200*44258Sbosticthat file: 201*44258Sbostic 202*44258Sbostic aardvark backgammon cribbage ex exec id 203*44258Sbostic 204*44258Sbosticand the following because they seem to be of interest to the general 205*44258Sbosticunix user as computer-related terms 206*44258Sbostic 207*44258Sbostic ascii grep login nroff termcap troff tset tty 208*44258Sbostic 209*44258Sbostic(a3) The next set of words are presently accepted by "spell" for 210*44258Sbosticreasons which might change, and are therefore being added to 211*44258Sbostic/usr/dict/words as a precaution. For example, "microbe" is accepted as 212*44258Sbosticthe combination of the prefix "micro-" and the entry "be", but it might 213*44258Sbosticbe decided at some time in the future to revise spell so that 2-letter 214*44258Sbosticwords are not combined with prefixes. Similarly, if the bug that 215*44258Sbosticpresently causes "happyly", "dayly" etc. to be accepted by spell were 216*44258Sbosticfixed, "shyly" and "coyly" would also be rejected. 217*44258Sbostic 218*44258Sbostic coyly forthcoming has microbe shyly wasting 219*44258Sbostic 220*44258Sbostic(a4) The next set of items are not words themselves, but prefixes 221*44258Sbosticwhich occur fairly commonly in hyphenated combinations, e.g. 222*44258Sbostic"pre-Columbian". When "spell" encounters a hyphenated word, it looks 223*44258Sbosticfor the separate elements, and will flag any of these that it does not 224*44258Sbosticfind. Hence the following common items will be added to /usr/dict/words 225*44258Sbosticeven though they are not full words, because many hyphenated 226*44258Sbosticcombinations in which they occur are correct 227*44258Sbostic 228*44258Sbostic co crypto de demi hyper Indo intra neo pre proto Sino trans un 229*44258Sbostic 230*44258Sbostic(There are many other commonly hyphenating elements that one can think 231*44258Sbosticof, but most are already in the dictionary as words, e.g. post, 232*44258SbosticAnglo, Franco, self.) 233*44258Sbostic 234*44258Sbostic(b) Words being deleted from /usr/dict/words: 235*44258Sbostic 236*44258Sbostic(b1) The following words previously in /usr/dict/words are being 237*44258Sbosticremoved because they are misspelled. The correctly spelled version is 238*44258Sbosticshown in parenthesis; it is included in the list of words to be 239*44258Sbosticadded (a1) if it is not already present: 240*44258Sbostic 241*44258Sbostic bellyfull (bellyful) bucketfull (bucketful) earthmen (Earthmen) 242*44258Sbostic gingko (ginkgo) belvidere (belvedere) sepuchral (sepulchral) 243*44258Sbostic snyaptic (synaptic) alterman (alderman) lukemia (leukemia) 244*44258Sbostic cardiod (cardioid) mantlepiece (mantelpiece) 245*44258Sbostic 246*44258Sbostic(b2) The following words are being deleted because they are not 247*44258SbosticEnglish (nor commonly used in English contexts). They seem to come 248*44258Sbosticfrom titles of journals; but there are so many important journals with 249*44258SbosticLatin, German etc. titles that it would be excessive to include a 250*44258Sbosticcomplete list of words from such titles in /usr/dict/words. Names of 251*44258Sbosticjournals in particular fields might be included in local lists on 252*44258Sbosticmachines with users in the such fields: 253*44258Sbostic 254*44258Sbostic Mathematik Physik Biometrika Numerische Atlantica Econometrica 255*44258Sbostic Informatica 256*44258Sbostic 257*44258Sbostic(b3) The following are being deleted because "spell" can derive them 258*44258Sbosticfrom words in /usr/dict/words (in some cases, words now being added): 259*44258Sbostic 260*44258SbosticBuzzard Cologne De Freedman Graves Grimes Hollandaise ID Limerick 261*44258SbosticMaelstrom Odyssey Oedipal Salaam Albanian Everglades innards intuitable 262*44258Sbosticpalpable collocation vis aging ambling angling belying clinging 263*44258Sbosticedging presuming suckling emissivity gentility polity rebelled 264*44258Sbosticrebelling rebut rebutted rebutting recent recession recur recurred 265*44258Sbosticrecurring reeve Reeves regale rehearse relate reman remark remedial 266*44258Sbosticremember remiss remission remitted remitting Remus renegotiable repeal 267*44258Sbosticrepeat repent repetition replaceable report republic request requited 268*44258Sbosticreredos resent reserve reside resign resin resolute resolution resolve 269*44258Sbosticresonant resort respire respite restrain restrict retail retire retort 270*44258Sbosticretract return reveal reverse reversion revery revet revile revise 271*44258Sbosticrevision revisionary revolt reward 272*44258Sbostic 273*44258Sbostic(c) Changes in the stoplist. 274*44258Sbostic The program "spell" will accept a word if it can be derived from a 275*44258Sbosticword in its "dictionary" using certain prefixes and suffixes; e.g. it 276*44258Sbosticaccepts "happiness" because "happy" is in the dictionary, "doing" 277*44258Sbosticbecause "do" is there, "preoccupied" because "occupied" is there. This 278*44258Sbosticalso leads it to accept enormous numbers of non-words, such as 279*44258Sbostic"magnetohandkerchiefism", "waterly", 280*44258Sbostic"overundermetasillierererererity". Most of these are harmless, but 281*44258Sbosticsome are possible misspellings of correct words, and so are put into a 282*44258Sbosticlist called the "stoplist"; words on that list and words which can be 283*44258Sbosticderived from them by the same prefixes or suffixes are rejected by 284*44258Sbosticspell even if they would otherwise be accepted. 285*44258Sbostic 286*44258Sbostic(c1) Here are some new words to be added to the stoplist. The end of 287*44258Sbosticthe list consists of forms that could be typos for commonly occurring 288*44258Sbosticsequences of words, starting with "forevery", a possible typo for "for 289*44258Sbosticevery". 290*44258Sbostic I have not included cases that result from essential errors in the 291*44258Sbostic"spell" algorithm for dealing with suffixes, e.g. the fact that it will 292*44258Sbosticaccept the addition of -ly to words such as "happy", "sticky", etc. 293*44258Sbosticwithout changing the -y to -i-; these should be handled by someone who 294*44258Sbosticcan revise the source code. 295*44258Sbostic 296*44258Sbosticengin crystalize crystalise reguard pennance publical renoun pepperment 297*44258Sbosticspearment Dudly enroach accompanyist propagandaist revisor entier 298*44258Sbosticpresense acquaince plummer plumer shily defication determinancy 299*44258Sbosticprerequite grammer reden redish metafor metafore presure convokable 300*44258Sbosticevokable invokable revokable frolicing froliced panicing paniced wifes 301*44258Sbosticwharfs shelfs Argentinan Athenan Ghanan Viennan Indochinan 302*44258Sbosticforeswore foresworn foreage foreborn foreborne foreensic foreest 303*44258Sbosticforeever forefit foregotten forematted forematting foremica foretress 304*44258Sbosticforetune compelable denyable dutyable envyable flamable inflamable 305*44258Sbosticpityable plyable remedyable varyable admirality certainity crotchity 306*44258Sbosticcuriousity cruelity entirity enterity fifity fraility gayity 307*44258Sbosticgenerousity guility humbility impugnity loyality luminousity 308*44258Sbosticmonstrousity nicity novelity pairity piity pompousity porousity 309*44258Sbosticreligiousity properity rackity rickity royality scrupulousity sixity 310*44258Sbosticsovereignity subtlity surity suzerainity virtuousity viscousity 311*44258Sbosticassesser compresser connecter conquerer consigner contributer counseler 312*44258Sbosticdepresser errer exhibiter governer intercepter jurer licenser locomoter 313*44258Sbosticmultiplexer oppresser possesser postprocesser processer professer 314*44258Sbosticpurveyer senser successer suiter surveyer suspenser transgresser 315*44258Sbosticforevery outin outof outthat outthe outto overthe overto underthe 316*44258Sbosticunderthis underthat underwhich andless areless beless forless getless 317*44258Sbosticgotless hadless hasless haveless ifless inless isless muchless noless 318*44258Sbosticofless orless slightlyless somewhatless strictlyless theless wasless 319*44258Sbosticwereless withless 320*44258Sbostic 321*44258Sbostic Incidentally, a dictionary check surprised me as to how many of 322*44258Sbosticthe forms in -er that I originally had scheduled to add to the 323*44258Sbosticstoplist as misspellings of forms in -or are in fact acceptable. E.g., 324*44258SbosticWebsters 2nd Int'l prefers "conveyer" to "conveyor"; a "confesser" is 325*44258Sbosticone who confesses, as distinct from the "confessor" to whom he or she 326*44258Sbosticgives confession; though "mayer" is a possible misspelling of "mayor", 327*44258Sbosticit cannot be put on the stoplist because a "Mayer" is one who goes 328*44258SbosticMaying. 329*44258Sbostic (And our chairman John Addison Jr., looking over my list, has 330*44258Sbosticsuggested tongue in cheek that if you are not nice to the exterminator 331*44258Sbosticpeople, they might "enroach" your house.) 332*44258Sbostic 333*44258Sbostic(c2) Next, forms that are to be *deleted* from the stoplist, because 334*44258Sbosticthey are in fact correct! 335*44258Sbostic 336*44258Sbostic inferable referable transferable tranquility idly gayly forebear 337*44258Sbostic 338*44258Sbostic(c3) The next two forms are presently in the stoplist but are being 339*44258Sbosticdeleted because, although they themselves are not correct words, the 340*44258Sbosticpresence of "bely" on the stoplist causes the correct derivative 341*44258Sbostic"belying" (form of the verb "to belie") to be rejected, and the presence 342*44258Sbosticof "ams" causes "reams" (plural of "ream") to be rejected. 343*44258Sbostic bely ams 344*44258Sbostic 345*44258Sbostic(c4) Finally, the next set of words, although not correct, are being 346*44258Sbosticremoved from the stoplist because they cannot be derived by "spell"'s 347*44258Sbosticalgorithms from words in the dictionary! Deleting them will in general 348*44258Sbostichave no visible effect, although it will decrease the likelihood of 349*44258Sbosticcertain kinds of errors by "spell", and in a few cases it will allow 350*44258Sbosticcorrect words to be accepted. (E.g., until now "spell" has rejected 351*44258Sbostic"dishes" because it can be analyzed as "dis- + hes", where "dis-" is one 352*44258Sbosticof "spell"'s prefixes, and "hes" was on the stoplist. After this 353*44258Sbosticcleaning out, "hes" will be off the stoplist, and "dishes" will be 354*44258Sbosticaccepted.) 355*44258Sbostic 356*44258Sbosticator audable bes besoting cheator collapsable colourate colourful 357*44258Sbosticcombustable comprehensable condensable controvertable credable 358*44258Sbosticdefensable diffusable dispersable distributory doged doger doging eator 359*44258Sbosticedable enbolden entrapable entraped entraper entraping erosable 360*44258Sbosticexpansable extensable feasable foable forety fusable glomed glumer 361*44258Sbosticglumest greator heator hes hily horrable iily imperceptable implausable 362*44258Sbosticinaccessable inaudable incombustable incompatable incomprehensable 363*44258Sbosticincontrovertable incorruptable incredable indefensable indelable 364*44258Sbosticindestructable indigestable indiscernable inexhaustable inexpressable 365*44258Sbosticinfallable infeasable inflexable infusable insensable irresistable 366*44258Sbosticirresponsable irreversable lader moter nes notory ostensable outgaser 367*44258Sbosticpadable pily plausable plugable preseter preseting refited refiter 368*44258Sbosticrefiting reknited rekniter rekniting reprehensable responsable 369*44258Sbosticreversable risable ruber rubing secretory sensable setable shipable 370*44258Sbosticslank spotable stagging stopable subletable subleted subleter subleting 371*44258Sbosticsusceptable swimable terrable tily vily visable wetable xily revved 372*44258Sbostic 373*44258Sbostic(d) Changes involving the British and American lists. 374*44258Sbostic "Spell" has two wordlists not yet mentioned, one for spellings 375*44258Sbosticoccurring only in British usage (e.g. "gaol"), which are accepted only 376*44258Sbosticwhen the -b option is used, the other for spellings occurring only in 377*44258SbosticAmerican usage, which are accepted only when the -b option is not used. 378*44258Sbostic 379*44258Sbostic(d1) The following forms are being added to the "American" list. (The 380*44258Sbosticforms corresponding to those in the first line with the ending -logue 381*44258Sbosticor the vowel "-ae-" are already in /usr/dict/words, since they are 382*44258Sbosticacceptable in both British and American usage. The forms corresponding 383*44258Sbosticto those in the second line with the ending -metre are already in the 384*44258SbosticBritish list.) 385*44258Sbostic dialog epilog homolog prolog travelog esthetic paleontology 386*44258Sbostic centimeter nanometer 387*44258Sbostic 388*44258Sbostic(d2) The following words are being added to the "British" list. Those 389*44258Sbosticin the first line are variants of words already in the "American" list; 390*44258Sbosticthose in the next, of words in /usr/dict/words or derivable therefrom; 391*44258Sbosticthe last word is the British name for the variety of turnip we here 392*44258Sbosticcall a "rutabaga". (Although the British and American lists in general 393*44258Sbosticare supposed to reflect differences in spelling, not in word usage, I 394*44258Sbosticam putting this in the British list because in an American text it 395*44258Sbosticwould almost always be a typo for "Swede".) 396*44258Sbostic 397*44258Sbostic theatregoer theatregoing aluminise hiccough 398*44258Sbostic clew shew reflexion inflexion deflexion 399*44258Sbostic swede 400*44258Sbostic 401*44258Sbostic(d3) The words in the first group below are being moved from 402*44258Sbostic/usr/dict/words to the "American" list, and corresponding British 403*44258Sbosticforms shown in the second group are being put in the British list 404*44258Sbostic(except that "gaol" and "behavioural" are already there, and "grey", 405*44258Sbosticpresently in /usr/dict/words because it is acceptable in America, 406*44258Sbosticwill remain there): 407*44258Sbostic 408*44258Sbostic hemoglobin hemolytic hemorrhage hemorrhoid hemosiderin 409*44258Sbostic leukemia kinesthesis cognizant decolonize topologize 410*44258Sbostic carburetor jail gray graybeard graywacke behavioral 411*44258Sbostic 412*44258Sbostic haemoglobin haemolytic haemorrhage haemorrhoid haemosiderin 413*44258Sbostic leukaemia kinaesthesis cognisant decolonise topologise 414*44258Sbostic carburettor [gaol] [grey] greybeard greywacke [behavioural] 415*44258Sbostic 416*44258Sbostic 417*44258Sbostic(d4) The following words are being removed from the American list, the 418*44258Sbosticfirst three because they can be derived from other words on the list, 419*44258Sbosticthe last one because it is a typographical error (missing h) for a word 420*44258Sbosticelsewhere on the list: 421*44258Sbostic preprogram colorist watercolorist 422*44258Sbostic psycoanalyze 423*44258Sbostic 424*44258Sbostic(d5) The words on the first line below are being removed from the 425*44258SbosticBritish list because they are derivable from other words on the list; 426*44258Sbosticthe word on the next line appears twice, and one of the occurrences 427*44258Sbostic(the one out of alphabetical order) are being removed: 428*44258Sbostic kilometre preprogramme chequer colourist watercolourist 429*44258Sbostic millimetre 430*44258Sbostic 431*44258Sbostic(d6) The word in the first line below is in both /usr/dict/words 432*44258Sbosticand the American list. It is being removed from /usr/dict/words, 433*44258Sbosticand the British spelling, shown in the second line, is being put 434*44258Sbosticin the British list. 435*44258Sbostic louver 436*44258Sbostic louvre 437*44258Sbostic 438*44258Sbostic(d7) The following word is being moved from the stoplist to the 439*44258SbosticBritish list: 440*44258Sbostic colourful 441*44258Sbostic 442*44258Sbostic(d8) The following word is being removed from the stoplist; it was put 443*44258Sbosticthere as an incorrect plural of "emphasis", but it is also the correct 444*44258SbosticBritish version of the verb-form "emphasizes", and its presence on the 445*44258Sbosticstoplist keeps that from being accepted with the -b option: 446*44258Sbostic emphasises 447*44258Sbostic 448*44258Sbostic(d9) The next two words are being moved from the British list to 449*44258Sbostic/usr/dict/words, since I believe that in some contexts they are 450*44258Sbosticacceptable in American use 451*44258Sbostic draught nought 452*44258Sbostic 453*44258Sbostic(d10) The word below is being removed from /usr/dict/words, since it 454*44258Sbosticcan be derived with the -b option in effect (and the corresponding 455*44258SbosticAmerican form when -b is not in effect) from the word "real". 456*44258Sbostic realisable 457*44258Sbostic 458*44258Sbostic(d11) The words in the first line below are being added to the 459*44258SbosticAmerican list and the versions in the next line to the British list 460*44258Sbostic hemophilia hemophiliac cognize pasteurize dichotomize 461*44258Sbostic haemophilia haemophiliac cognise pasteurise dichotomise 462*44258SbosticIn conjunction with this, the word 463*44258Sbostic cognizable 464*44258Sbosticis being deleted from /usr/dict/words, since it and the British form 465*44258Sbosticin -s- can be derived by "spell" from the corresponding forms 466*44258Sbosticwithout "-able". 467*44258Sbostic 468*44258Sbostic(e) Some misorderings of /usr/dict/words, involving words introduced 469*44258Sbosticlast year, are being removed; the file now shows as correctly ordered 470*44258Sbosticusing sort -cdf. 471*44258Sbostic 472*44258Sbostic(f) Some changes are also being made in the arrangement of wordlist 473*44258Sbosticfiles themselves. 474*44258Sbostic 475*44258Sbostic(f1) /usr/src/usr.bin/spell/{american,british,stop} are being made 476*44258Sbosticvisible to the general user as /usr/dict/{american,british,stop}. 477*44258Sbostic 478*44258Sbostic(f2) A new directory, /usr/dict/special is being created, which will 479*44258Sbosticcontain lists of words in various specialized areas, which might be 480*44258Sbosticadded to spell's hashlists on machines having users in those fields. 481*44258Sbostic(However, the most important terms of various specialties will still be 482*44258Sbostickept in /usr/dict/words.) Two files are being put in this directory 483*44258Sbosticinitially: /usr/dict/special/math, consisting of mathematical terms 484*44258Sbosticto technical for /usr/dict/words, and /usr/dict/special/4bsd, consisting 485*44258Sbosticof unix commands and system calls, created by a sed script from 486*44258Sbostica listing of /usr/man/man[123n], and the items marked for boldfacing 487*44258Sbosticin /usr/man/man1/csh.1. 488*44258Sbostic 489*44258Sbostic(f3) /usr/src/usr.bin/spell/local is being eliminated. This was 490*44258Sbostican out-of-date version of the material now being put in 491*44258Sbostic/usr/dict/special/4bsd. It was hashed with the other wordlists, 492*44258Sbosticwhile the latter file will only be included with these on machines 493*44258Sbosticwhere this is desired. 494*44258Sbostic 495*44258Sbostic(f4) A directory /usr/local/dict is being created, on which each 496*44258Sbosticmachine can maintain lists of interest to the users thereof (e.g., for 497*44258Sbostica departmental machine, the surnames of members of the department's 498*44258Sbosticfaculty which are not in /usr/dict/words; and perhaps lists being 499*44258Sbosticdeveloped, which could eventually be submitted for inclusion in 500*44258Sbostic/usr/dict/special). 501
