A console spellchecker and dictionary
Two things that I have failed to mention for quite a long time now — in fact, three things — are a dictionary and spellchecker for the console. If you write as much as I do, those two things are important, and not wisely left out.
In my case I needed two things that would work well with charm, because that’s where I do all my dirty work. For a dictionary, the dictd package works perfectly.
dict sends its results to stdout, so I can pipe that into a text file if I want, or directly into vim. The real value (for me, at least) is in the thesaurus; I can’t tell you how many times a day I’m trying to hunt down a word that means something like “this,” but not quite “this.”
