Some of the words in this list are actually correctly spelled, not misspelled -- for example, "there" is correctly spelled, as is "lead", "rime", etc.
Here's how you can generate a list of words that are actually correctly spelled:
comm -12 file1 file2
finds all the lines infile1
that are also infile2
, assuming the two files are both sorted (it is an error if they aren't).
