  1. \  SPELL.S
  2. \  This table is a simple spelling corrector.
  3.  
  4. \  It contains over a hundred misspelled words (or partial words) paired
  5. \  with their proper spellings. Some of the misspellings are admittedly
  6. \  sophomoric, but you might not believe how badly some people spell.
  7.  
  8. \  As with all SNR tables, this table can be freely added to,
  9. \  deleted from, or otherwise changed to suit your particular needs.
  10.  
  11. \  SNR, of course, wasn't designed to be a spelling corrector, but this
  12. \  gives you an idea of one of the myriad possible uses for the program.
