        !           275: word in its "dictionary" using certain prefixes and suffixes; e.g.  it

        !           277: because "do" is there, "preoccupied" because "occupied" is there.  This
        !           278: also leads it to accept enormous numbers of non-words, such as

        !           325: one who confesses, as distinct from the "confessor" to whom he or she
        !           326: gives confession; though "mayer" is a possible misspelling of "mayor",
        !           327: it cannot be put on the stoplist because a "Mayer" is one who goes

        !           341: "belying" (form of the verb "to belie") to be rejected, and the presence
        !           342: of "ams" causes "reams" (plural of "ream") to be rejected.

        !           346: removed from the stoplist because they cannot be derived by "spell"'s
        !           347: algorithms from words in the dictionary!  Deleting them will in general
        !           348: have no visible effect, although it will decrease the likelihood of
        !           349: certain kinds of errors by "spell", and in a few cases it will allow
        !           350: correct words to be accepted.  (E.g., until now "spell" has rejected
        !           351: "dishes" because it can be analyzed as "dis- + hes", where "dis-" is one
        !           352: of "spell"'s prefixes, and "hes" was on the stoplist.  After this
        !           353: cleaning out, "hes" will be off the stoplist, and "dishes" will be
