   Either GNU Emacs or SIPB's Webster server has a typo.  They disagree
   on the spelling of the following word:

   Webster		Emacs (M-x spell-word)
   -------------	----------------------
   archaeological	archaelogical
	 ^
   Note the difference of an 'o'.

Webster's spelling is correct, and an alternate spelling is
archeological, which both webster and spell-word have.  Spell-word
tells me when I ask it that archaelogical is spelled incorrectly, so I
don't understand this bug report.
