Abstract

We read James L. Peterson's article, “Computer Programs for Detecting and Correcting Spelling Errors” with great interest. We too have recently developed a spelling correction program as part of a tutorial on programming techniques and style. Our basic modesty inhibited us from publishing the details—there was, after all, little research involved in making the program. However, on reflection, there are several features in our design that we feel merit wider circulation.
