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.

196*44258Sbostic(a2)  Words previously in /usr/src/usr.bin/spell/local, 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

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):

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.

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.)

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

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).
