- .it Typo
- hunts through a document for unusual
- words, typographic errors, and
- .it "hapax legomena"
- and prints
- them on the standard output.
- .s3
- The words used in the document are printed
- out in decreasing order of peculiarity along
- with an index of peculiarity. An index of 10
- or more is considered peculiar. Printing of
- certain very common English words is suppressed.
- .s3
- The statistics for judging words are taken from
- the document itself, with some help from known
- statistics of English.
- The
- .bd \*-n
- option suppresses
- the help from English and should be used if the
- document is written in, for example, Urdu.
- .s3
- The
- .bd \*-1
- option causes the final output to appear in a single
- column instead of three
- columns.
- The normal header and pagination is also suppressed.
