I use ispell in irssi, and it's not that good at unravelling the noodliness
of my mind and guessing what I meant to spell.

If one character is wrong, it will make the right suggestion, but if
two characters are wrong, forget about it. If ispell can't make a
suggestion, I then I google it, and google always knows what I meant
to spell. Pretty scary.

here's a weird example:

dribl

ispell says

& dribl 5 0: drib, dribs, drib l, drib-l, drill

aspell says

& dribl 19 0: dribble, drably, tribal, drill, dribbler, drivel, drub,
durable, durably, dbl, driblet, droll, drool, drab, treble, drawl,
trial, tribe, trill

I have heard in the past aspell is better, and I would concur.
