While working on ispell (yes, it's coming, but not real soon) I stumbled
across a non-word in my /usr/dict/words file.  The verb form of
"accreditation" is "accredit," despite the best efforts of some people
to change it.  If you're a stickler for accuracy, like me, edit
/usr/dict/words to change that entry to "accreditation".
