* [Dictionary and affix files](http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries)

  var SpellCheck = require('spellcheck'),
        base = __dirname + (process.platform === 'win32' ? '\\' : '/'),
        spell = new SpellCheck(base + 'en_US.aff', base + 'en_US.dic');

spell.check('sain', function(err, correct, suggestions) {
      if (err) throw err;
      if (correct)
        console.log('Word is spelled correctly!');
      else
        console.log('Word not recognized. Suggestions: ' + suggestions);

API
===

Methods
-------

* **(constructor)**(<_String_>affixPath, <_Integer_>dictPath) - Creates and returns a new SpellCheck instance. affixPath is an **absolute** path that points to an affix (.aff) file. dictPath is an **absolute** path that points to a dictionary (.dic) file.

* **check**(<_String_>word, <_Function_>callback) - _(void)_ - Spell checks the given word. The callback receives three arguments: an <_Error_> object in case of error (null otherwise), a <_Boolean_> indicating if the word was spelled correctly, and if the word was not recognized, an <_Array_> of suggested words.
