A misspelling has crept into the dictionary used by the spell program
here (spell erroneously accepts a misspelling of a famous astronomer's;
name; somebody here got an angry letter from her when the misspelling
appeared in a paper of his!).  Is there an easy way to remove it?

Unfortunately, we do NOT have an up-to-date ASCII list of all the words
added to the spell database.
