NOTES

* My apologies for any problems, I built this in a rush.
    * I am heading out of town this weekend and did not have a lot of free time.
    * Built and tested with Python 2.7
    * Almost certainly won't work with Python 2.5, as it makes extensive use of sets. Sorry.
    * Please let me know if there are any major issues.
* Spell checker has a theoretical worst case run time of O(11 ** L), where L is the length of an input word.
    * This is arguably vastly worse than the required O(N).
    * I'm not sure it's actually possible to meet the requirements and beat O(11 ** L).
    * I massively cheated and used a trie to achieve an average runtime much lower than O(11 ** L).
    * This largely depends on the input dictionary containing typical English words.
    * A cleverly constructed dictionary would force O(11 ** L).
* Program may have a long start up time, depending on your dictionary size.
    * Tried saving the dictionary as a pickle to speed things up, but it actually slowed the startup.
    * Due to use of a trie, word lookups should take roughly O(L) time, where L is the length of the word.

* Still need to add copyright/documentation/etc
