> I ran a quick test through bundle “Base VisualWorks” (in 7.6)
> extracting all words in the source code. Afterwards I remove all
> American English words from the result. I end up with 2089 possible
> misspelled words.
>
> Not all words in the resulting list are misspellings, but just quickly
> considering the ones starting with “a” I find these spelling mistakes:
>
> abillity
> absoute
> abstact
> accellerator
> acception
> accesss
> accomodate
> accomodates
> accross
> acess
> acheived
> additons
> adust
> aegument
> allready
> allways
> alorithms
> alway
> ambigious
> ambigous
> ammount
> andreas
> anonymus
> anouncement
> answser
> anwer
> anwser
> appeance
> appearence
> approiate
> appropiate
> appropiated
> approriate
> aprpopriate
> aribtrary
> arithmetiv
> arround
> asnwers
> aspected
> assignement
> assocation
> assoicated
> atend
> attibutes
> attributes
> atttempting

> Cincom should run spell check on all code they produce. We do this in
> our project by using unit tests. It picks up a lot of mistakes, and
> requires little effort. When a test fails, you either need to add a
> new word to the project-specific word-list, or correct a spelling
> mistake. I will try to provide some details on our approach later on.

> Attached is the full list of words found in bundle “Base VisualWorks”
> excluding known American English words. Just copy the list into Word,
> turn on spell checking, and browse for words marked with red
> underline.
