     Unfortunately, many "spell" word lists are overly inclusive,
     thereby reducing the utility of "spell".

The number of different words in the spelling list is unfortunately
rather a selling point for word processors.  "Over 50000 words..."
etc. are claimed in the ads.  The public is truly gullible.
