Well, that would be fine if I were actually running stand alone Linux.
I got our admin to indeed add the word list, but if center, and centre
appear, from a speech standpoint they sound the same.
By the way, if anyone is interested, there is now a command line Linux
port of both Wordperfect, and Lotus 123. can share the link here if
anyone wants the editions.
i suspect I may end up using a Canadian edition of a word processor for DOS
instead.
Thanks though! Quite informative.

Tim here. According to my Debian box packages, the aspell package
should include a Canadian word-list. You can either specify it
with a one-off
$ aspell -d en_CA ...
or you can put it in your config:
$ echo lang en_CA >> ~/.aspell.conf
to make it the default. You can then check files like
$ aspell check mydocument.txt
If the TUI interface is a bit too cluttered for your taste, lying
about your terminal-type can help:
$ TERM=dumb aspell check mydocument.txt
There are a LOT of options to aspell, so you can lose hours reading
up on it and experimenting, but that should give you the basics.

Hi,
rather simple.
My dream here would actually be a DOS port of an entire Canadian word
processor, but I will take something that might be usable from the command
line only.
any ideas?
