I'd like to spellcheck a list of items and separate the misspelled to
a new list. Any suggestions? To add to the mix, I need to sort pairs
of words where one is invalid to the misspelled list as well.

condiments, cechup, tomato cetchup <return>
Code isn't really the problem here, I'm looking for a database,
either built-in or not that I can use. I'd wanted to interface with
resources.dictionary.com and use their data, as in the future I'd love
to get synonym and definition data. Unfortunately, their Terms of use
says no commercial use. So, I searched google and found Wordnet
<http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/> which seems to be the solution.
Mind-opening. Unfortunately it's 1006 (Couldn't complete the last
command because the application or extension is not scriptable. Result
Code = 1006).
I should clarify that WordNetX <http://wordnet.sourceforge.net/> is the
unscriptable app. While a good OS X implementation, it doesn't have a
scripting implementation.
The WordNet Unix release is provided as a binary installation for
# the following platforms:
#
# SPARCstation running Solaris 7
# Silicon Graphics Mips processor running Irix 6.8.3
# PC running Redhat Linux
Bummer! Anyone know how to install the command line UNIX app? Does
it need to be ported? I'm not wanting to go there.
And please, don't 'GUI script it' me. I need to talk directly to the
database, not push buttons on a remote control with a plastic finger
on a stick. Not that I'm not glad to have the
stickfingerremotecontrol. : )
