ispell single word

[Emanuel Berg]

How do I spell a single word, from Lisp, with
ispell? (Indeed, how do ispell with ispell...)

I just wrote this. It does seem to work but the
code looks - well, like something you are not
supposed to understand!

(require 'ispell)

(defun spell-one-word (word)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (save-excursion
      (insert word) )
    (condition-case nil
        (not (ispell-word))
      (error nil)
      )))
;; (spell-one-word "length") ; t
;; (spell-one-word "lenght") ; nil

But I guess I like it fine - so far.
