Don't think acme is particularly suited for spell correction.
If I am unsure of a spelling I just use "look <prefix>" which
spits out words with that prefix -- this is usually good
enough.  For scripts with complex layout (which are not
displayed properly by most all CLI programs), I use TextEdit
or a word processor.
