OS X comes with a list of all the words in Webster's 2nd International
Dictionary (234,936 of them to be precise). These words can be found in
the file /usr/share/dict/words. I find it useful to search this list if
I'm not sure how spell a given word by using the following command:
% more /usr/share/dict/words | grep [pattern] | more
This should return a list of words from the dictionary that contain your
[pattern] (don't type the square brackets) of interest.
