	Just take a big documemt with no spelling errors. (Your lastest
doctoral thesis should do nicely). Then run it through a program along
these lines:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
WHILE NOT End Of File
	( read a line )
	WHILE NOT End Of line
		( for each character in the line )
		IF character is white space THEN
			print a new line.
		ELSE
			output that character
	ENDWHILE
ENDWHILE
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Run the program's output through a sort program.
Then run the sorted output through a uniq program.
