GNU Aspell
GNU Aspell, usually called just Aspell, is a free software spell checker designed to replace Ispell. It is the standard spell checker for the GNU operating system. It also compiles for other Unix-like operating systems and Windows. The main program is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), the documentation under the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL). Dictionaries for it are available for about 70 languages. The primary maintainer is Kevin Atkinson.
Comparison to Ispell
Unlike Ispell, Aspell can easily check UTF-8 documents without having to use a special dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once. However, Ispell follows the Unix convention of being a command applied to a file, e.g., ispell text-file-with-spelling-errors, whereas Aspell requires other command-line options, and the "--help" option is more comprehensive.

by: Jesse PowellDon't try to tell me you don't know what I feel
When all I do is try to please you
Do what I can to show my love is for real,
Still you just push me away
Come on girl give me wutcha know I deserve
I only want what is right
Don't leave me hanging with my heart on the verge,
Of breaking down every night
Chorus
Cause you should know by now, without any question
I live and die for the love of you
When the sun don't shine
I'll still be by your side
So baby you should know... that I love you
And everything you do in my mind
But now I need it for real, from you baby
I know inside ya that there's someone thats kind,
But I dunno how long I can deal with it.
Oh...
Come on and give me what you know I deserve,
I only want what is right
Don't leave me hanging with my heart on the verge,
Of breaking down every night
(Chorus)
Cause no other man will know you like I do...
And no other man will treat you like I do...
Only a man who really loves you,
Would stand the test, that you've put me thru
For your heart.
(Chorus)
Cause you should know by now, w/o any question.
I live and die for the love of you
When the sun don't shine... I'll still be by your side
So baby, you should know... that I love you
I love you... I love you...(You should know)
(until fade)
When the sun don't shine... still be mine
