So something like this should be work, $ echo "personal_repl-1.1 en 0" > ~/.aspell.en.prepl $ echo "personal_ws-1.1 en 62" > ~/.aspell.en.pws Then try using aspell from any of your editors (emacs, vim, nano...) or try using it directly like so, $ aspell check <file> Hope this will help. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
