I implemented the soundex algorithm and generated soundex codes of an
English wordlist in Squeak toward the end of adding a SpellChecker service
into Squeak, and ultimately, for the IRC client. ;)
The Soundex algorithm is a simple algorithm for matching closely sounding
words, used in a lot of spell checkers. A few other algorithms would need
to be added to get a decent spell checker, but I imagine it would only
take a few solid hours of work to get something working.

Aaron
