I ran a quick test through bundle âBase VisualWorksâ (in 7.6) extracting all words in the source code. Afterwards I remove all American English words from the result. I end up with 2089 possible misspelled words.
Not all words in the resulting list are misspellings, but just quickly considering the ones starting with âaâ I find these spelling mistakes:
abillity absoute abstact accellerator acception accesss accomodate accomodates accross acess acheived additons adust aegument allready allways alorithms alway ambigious ambigous ammount andreas anonymus anouncement answser anwer anwser appeance appearence approiate appropiate appropiated approriate aprpopriate aribtrary arithmetiv arround asnwers aspected assignement assocation assoicated atend attibutes attributes atttempting
Cincom should run spell check on all code they produce. We do this in our project by using unit tests. It picks up a lot of mistakes, and requires little effort. When a test fails, you either need to add a new word to the project-specific word-list, or correct a spelling mistake. I will try to provide some details on our approach later on.
Attached is the full list of words found in bundle âBase VisualWorksâ excluding known American English words. Just copy the list into Word, turn on spell checking, and browse for words marked with red underline.
Kind regards Runar Jordahl
