Shell Programming and Scripting

hi, all
well, it's about spelling check,
give a list of words as command line parameters and determine if they are in the dictionary.
> myDictionary hello helloi
hello is in the dictionary
helloi is not.

if spell command is not allowed to use.
could i use grep -c in this way? if the count number of match is equal to 0, then it's misspelled.
case $# in
*)
for w in $*
do
if {test grep -c "$w" /usr/share/dict/words -ne 0;}
echo "...";
else {test grep -c "$w" /usr/share/dict/words -eq 0;}
echo "...";
fi
done

thank u in advance

And why can't the "spell" command be used?

However, here's a hint: https://www.unix.com/showthread.php?s...1798#post42539

besides -qi option, the -w option is prefered if you want a exact word match
