Dennis Ritchie had someone type in all the headwords from Webster's Dictionary (Second Edition) so that he would have a big word list for word games, spell checkers, and so on. I've had a copy of this word list since forever.

But today I discovered it's missing “atrede”.

Not sure what to make of this. Maybe Ritchie's typist just missed this one? Or maybe they had some slightly different printing?
