+
+Correct commonly misspelled English words... quickly.
+
+### Install
+
+
+If you just want a binary and to start using `misspell`:
+
+```
+curl -L -o ./install-misspell.sh https://git.io/misspell
+sh ./install-misspell.sh
+```
+
+
+Both will install as `./bin/misspell`. You can adjust the download location using the `-b` flag. File a ticket if you want another platform supported.
+
+
+If you use [Go](https://golang.org/), the best way to run `misspell` is by using [gometalinter](#gometalinter). Otherwise, install `misspell` the old-fashioned way:
+
+```
+go get -u github.com/client9/misspell/cmd/misspell
+```
+
+and misspell will be in your `GOPATH`
+
+
+Also if you like to live dangerously, one could do
+
+```bash
+curl -L https://git.io/misspell | bash
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+
+```bash
+$ misspell all.html your.txt important.md files.go
+your.txt:42:10 found "langauge" a misspelling of "language"
+
+# ^ file, line, column
+```
+
+```
+$ misspell -help
+Usage of misspell:
+ -debug
+ Debug matching, very slow
+ -error
+ Exit with 2 if misspelling found
+ -f string
+ 'csv', 'sqlite3' or custom Golang template for output
+ -i string
+ ignore the following corrections, comma separated
+ -j int
+ Number of workers, 0 = number of CPUs
+ -legal
+ Show legal information and exit
+ -locale string
+ Correct spellings using locale perferances for US or UK. Default is to use a neutral variety of English. Setting locale to US will correct the British spelling of 'colour' to 'color'
+ -o string
+ output file or [stderr|stdout|] (default "stdout")
+ -q Do not emit misspelling output
+ -source string
+ Source mode: auto=guess, go=golang source, text=plain or markdown-like text (default "auto")
+ -w Overwrite file with corrections (default is just to display)
+```

+
+<a name="correct"></a>
+### How can I make the corrections automatically?
+
+Just add the `-w` flag!
+
+```
+$ misspell -w all.html your.txt important.md files.go
+your.txt:9:21:corrected "langauge" to "language"
+
+# ^ File is rewritten only if a misspelling is found
+```
+
+<a name="locale"></a>
+### How do I convert British spellings to American (or vice-versa)?
+
+Add the `-locale US` flag!
+
+```bash
+$ misspell -locale US important.txt
+important.txt:10:20 found "colour" a misspelling of "color"
+```
+
+Add the `-locale UK` flag!
+
+```bash
+$ echo "My favorite color is blue" | misspell -locale UK
+stdin:1:3:found "favorite color" a misspelling of "favourite colour"
+```
+
+Help is appreciated as I'm neither British nor an
+expert in the English language.
+
+<a name="recursive"></a>
+### How do you check an entire folder recursively?
+
+Just list a directory you'd like to check
+
+```bash
+misspell .
+misspell aDirectory anotherDirectory aFile
+```
+
+You can also run misspell recursively using the following shell tricks:
+
+```bash
+misspell directory/**/*
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+find . -type f | xargs misspell
+```
+
+You can select a type of file as well. The following examples selects all `.txt` files that are *not* in the `vendor` directory:
+
+```bash
+find . -type f -name '*.txt' | grep -v vendor/ | xargs misspell -error
+```
+
+<a name="stdin"></a>
+### Can I use pipes or `stdin` for input?
+
+Yes!
+
+Print messages to `stderr` only:
+
+```bash
+$ echo "zeebra" | misspell
+stdin:1:0:found "zeebra" a misspelling of "zebra"
+```
+
+Print messages to `stderr`, and corrected text to `stdout`:
+
+```bash
+$ echo "zeebra" | misspell -w
+stdin:1:0:corrected "zeebra" to "zebra"
+zebra
+```
+
+Only print the corrected text to `stdout`:
+
+```bash
+$ echo "zeebra" | misspell -w -q
+zebra
+```
+
+<a name="golang"></a>
+### Are there special rules for golang source files?
+
+Yes! If the file ends in `.go`, then misspell will only check spelling in
+comments.
+
+If you want to force a file to be checked as a golang source, use `-source=go`
+on the command line. Conversely, you can check a golang source as if it were
+pure text by using `-source=text`. You might want to do this since many
+variable names have misspellings in them!
+
+### Can I check only-comments in other other programming languages?
+
+I'm told the using `-source=go` works well for ruby, javascript, java, c and
+c++.
+
+It doesn't work well for python and bash.
+
+<a name="gometalinter"></a>
+### Does this work with gometalinter?
+
+[gometalinter](https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter) runs
+multiple golang linters. Starting on [2016-06-12](https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter/pull/134)
+gometalinter supports `misspell` natively but it is disabled by default.
+
+```bash
+# update your copy of gometalinter
+go get -u github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter
+
+# install updates and misspell
+gometalinter --install --update
+```
+
+To use, just enable `misspell`
+
+```
+gometalinter --enable misspell ./...
+```
+
+Note that gometalinter only checks golang files, and uses the default options
+of `misspell`
+
+You may wish to run this on your plaintext (.txt) and/or markdown files too.
+
+
+<a name="csv"></a>
+### How Can I Get CSV Output?
+
+Using `-f csv`, the output is standard comma-seprated values with headers in the first row.
+
+```
+misspell -f csv *
+file,line,column,typo,corrected
+"README.md",9,22,langauge,language
+"README.md",47,25,langauge,language
+```
+
+<a name="sqlite"></a>
+### How can I export to SQLite3?
+
+Using `-f sqlite`, the output is a [sqlite3](https://www.sqlite.org/index.html) dump-file.
+
+```bash
+$ misspell -f sqlite * > /tmp/misspell.sql
+$ cat /tmp/misspell.sql
+
+PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;
+BEGIN TRANSACTION;
+CREATE TABLE misspell(
+ "file" TEXT,
+ "line" INTEGER,i
+ "column" INTEGER,i
+ "typo" TEXT,
+ "corrected" TEXT
+);
+INSERT INTO misspell VALUES("install.txt",202,31,"immediatly","immediately");
+# etc...
+COMMIT;
+```
+
+```bash
+$ sqlite3 -init /tmp/misspell.sql :memory: 'select count(*) from misspell'
+1
+```
+
+With some tricks you can directly pipe output to sqlite3 by using `-init /dev/stdin`:
+
+```
+misspell -f sqlite * | sqlite3 -init /dev/stdin -column -cmd '.width 60 15' ':memory' \
+ 'select substr(file,35),typo,count(*) as count from misspell group by file, typo order by count desc;'
+```
+
+<a name="ignore"></a>
+### How can I ignore rules?
+
+Using the `-i "comma,separated,rules"` flag you can specify corrections to ignore.
+
+For example, if you were to run `misspell -w -error -source=text` against document that contains the string `Guy Finkelshteyn Braswell`, misspell would change the text to `Guy Finkelstheyn Bras well`. You can then
+determine the rules to ignore by reverting the change and running the with the `-debug` flag. You can then see
+that the corrections were `htey -> they` and `aswell -> as well`. To ignore these two rules, you add `-i "htey,aswell"` to
+your command. With debug mode on, you can see it print the corrections, but it will no longer make them.
+
+<a name="output"></a>
+### How can I change the output format?
+
+Using the `-f template` flag you can pass in a
+[golang text template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) to format the output.
+
+One can use `printf "%q" VALUE` to safely quote a value.
+
+The default template is compatible with [gometalinter](https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter)
+```
+{{ .Filename }}:{{ .Line }}:{{ .Column }}:corrected {{ printf "%q" .Original }} to "{{ printf "%q" .Corrected }}"
+```
+
+To just print probable misspellings:
+
+```
+-f '{{ .Original }}'
+```
+
+<a name="problem"></a>
+### What problem does this solve?
+
+This corrects commonly misspelled English words in computer source
+code, and other text-based formats (`.txt`, `.md`, etc).
+
+It is designed to run quickly so it can be
+used as a [pre-commit hook](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks)
+with minimal burden on the developer.
+
+It does not work with binary formats (e.g. Word, etc).
+
+It is not a complete spell-checking program nor a grammar checker.
+
+<a name="others"></a>
+### What are other misspelling correctors and what's wrong with them?
+
+Some other misspelling correctors:
+
+* https://github.com/vlajos/misspell_fixer
+* https://github.com/lyda/misspell-check
+* https://github.com/lucasdemarchi/codespell
+
+They all work but had problems that prevented me from using them at scale:
+
+* slow, all of the above check one misspelling at a time (i.e. linear) using regexps
+* not MIT/Apache2 licensed (or equivalent)
+* have dependencies that don't work for me (python3, bash, linux sed, etc)
+* don't understand American vs. British English and sometimes makes unwelcome "corrections"
+
+That said, they might be perfect for you and many have more features
+than this project!
+
+<a name="performance"></a>
+### How fast is it?
+
+Misspell is easily 100x to 1000x faster than other spelling correctors. You
+should be able to check and correct 1000 files in under 250ms.
+
+This uses the mighty power of golang's
+[strings.Replacer](https://golang.org/pkg/strings/#Replacer) which is
+a implementation or variation of the
+[Aho–Corasick algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aho–Corasick_algorithm).
+This makes multiple substring matches *simultaneously*.
+
+In addition this uses multiple CPU cores to work on multiple files.
+
+<a name="issues"></a>
+### What problems does it have?
+
+Unlike the other projects, this doesn't know what a "word" is. There may be
+more false positives and false negatives due to this. On the other hand, it
+sometimes catches things others don't.
+
+Either way, please file bugs and we'll fix them!
+
+Since it operates in parallel to make corrections, it can be non-obvious to
+determine exactly what word was corrected.
+
+<a name="debug"></a>
+### It's making mistakes. How can I debug?
+
+Run using `-debug` flag on the file you want. It should then print what word
+it is trying to correct. Then [file a
+bug](https://github.com/client9/misspell/issues) describing the problem.
+Thanks!
+
+<a name="missing"></a>
+### Why is it making mistakes or missing items in golang files?
+
+The matching function is *case-sensitive*, so variable names that are multiple
+worlds either in all-upper or all-lower case sometimes can cause false
+positives. For instance a variable named `bodyreader` could trigger a false
+positive since `yrea` is in the middle that could be corrected to `year`.
+Other problems happen if the variable name uses a English contraction that
+should use an apostrophe. The best way of fixing this is to use the
+[Effective Go naming
+conventions](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#mixed-caps) and use
+[camelCase](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase) for variable names. You
+can check your code using [golint](https://github.com/golang/lint)
+
+<a name="license"></a>
+### What license is this?
+
+The main code is [MIT](https://github.com/client9/misspell/blob/master/LICENSE).
+
+Misspell also makes uses of the Golang standard library and contains a modified version of Golang's [strings.Replacer](https://golang.org/pkg/strings/#Replacer)
+which are covered under a [BSD License](https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/LICENSE). Type `misspell -legal` for more details or see [legal.go](https://github.com/client9/misspell/blob/master/legal.go)
+
+<a name="words"></a>
+### Where do the word lists come from?
+
+It started with a word list from
+[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/For_machines).
+Unfortunately, this list had to be highly edited as many of the words are
+obsolete or based from mistakes on mechanical typewriters (I'm guessing).
+
+Additional words were added based on actually mistakes seen in
+the wild (meaning self-generated).
+
+Variations of UK and US spellings are based on many sources including:
+
+* http://www.tysto.com/uk-us-spelling-list.html (with heavy editing, many are incorrect)
+* http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/words/american-and-british-spelling-american (excellent site but incomplete)
+* Diffing US and UK [scowl dictionaries](http://wordlist.aspell.net)
+
+American English is more accepting of spelling variations than is British
+English, so "what is American or not" is subject to opinion. Corrections and help welcome.
+
+<a name="otherideas"></a>
+### What are some other enhancements that could be done?
+
+Here's some ideas for enhancements:
+
+*Capitalization of proper nouns* could be done (e.g. weekday and month names, country names, language names)
+
+*Opinionated US spellings* US English has a number of words with alternate
+spellings. Think [adviser vs.
+advisor](http://grammarist.com/spelling/adviser-advisor/). While "advisor" is not wrong, the opinionated US
+locale would correct "advisor" to "adviser".
+
+*Versioning* Some type of versioning is needed so reporting mistakes and errors is easier.
+
+*Feedback* Mistakes would be sent to some server for agregation and feedback review.
+
+*Contractions and Apostrophes* This would optionally correct "isnt" to
+"isn't", etc.
