I defer to the OED.  Unfortunately, ispell does not agree, although I
wish it did.  My preference would be to pass a document through ispell
and correct all misspellings that it flagged (with the exception of
jargon terms such as REPL and Elisp, which could be put into a
personal dictionary).  The more exceptions that there are, the more
useless that ispell (and flyspell) becomes.
