NAME
     typo - find possible typos

SYNOPSIS
     typo [ -1 ] [ -n ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     Typo hunts through a document for unusual words, typographic
     errors, and hapax legomena and prints them on the standard
     output.

     The words used in the document are printed out in decreasing
     order of peculiarity along with an index of peculiarity.  An
     index of 10 or more is considered peculiar.  Printing of
     certain very common English words is suppressed.

     The statistics for judging words are taken from the document
     itself, with some help from known statistics of English.
     The -n option suppresses the help from English and should be
     used if the document is written in, for example, Urdu.

     The -1 option causes the final output to appear in a single
     column instead of three columns.  The normal header and pag-
     ination is also suppressed.

     Roff (I) and nroff (I) control lines are ignored.  Upper
     case is mapped into lower case.  Quote marks, vertical bars,
     hyphens, and ampersands within words are equivalent to
     spaces.  Words hyphenated across lines are put back
     together.

BUGS
     Because of the mapping into lower case and the stripping of
     special characters, words may be hard to locate in the orig-
     inal text.

     The escape sequences of troff (I) are not correctly recog-
     nized.
