BiographyCherry has worked on mathematical tools, such as bc and dc,[3] and co-authored eqn with Brian Kernighan.[4] Her work on libplot inspired the later GNU plotutils package.[5] She also worked on "analyzing the federalist papers and compressing digital phone books."[6] Her non-mathematical work included the dictionary for the Unix spell checker [7] and the Bell Labs's Writer's Workbench (wwb).[8] The Writer's Workbench was meant to help students learn to edit their work: My feeling about a lot of those tools is their value in education is as much pointing out to people who are learning to write that they have choices and make choices when they do it. They don’t think of a writing task as making choices per se. Once they get it on paper they think it’s cast in stone. So it makes them edit.[9] Cherry also contributed to the Plan 9 operating system,[10] cowrote "Typing Documents on the UNIX System: Using the –ms and –mcs Macros with Troff" with Mike Lesk for the Unix Tenth Edition Manual,[11] and coded up the non-dictionary based spellchecker, typo, conceived by Bob Morris.[12] Lorinda Cherry also worked with Lee McMahon along with Morris collecting a substantial corpus of text and studying it statistically. "Some of their tools, particularly uniq and comm became staples. Out of that work came the remarkable typo, which spotted typing errors by statistical inference."[3] "Cherry’s work on approximate parsing and Aho’s on fast pattern search turned out to be just the right foundation for an English style-appraiser suggested by Prof. William Vesterman of Rutgers. That in turn was elaborated into Writer's Workbench by Nina MacDonald and others in the Human Performance Engineering Department."[3] Cherry is one of three co-inventors for AT&T's patent on a "Method and system for verifying the status of 911 emergency telephone services".[13] Cherry raced rally cars as a hobby.[14] Cherry has always been fascinated by text processing.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://tiny.antville.org/stories/906514/|title=Lorinda Cherry|accessdate=2009-08-22}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=Mahoney|first=Michael Sean|authorlink= Michael Sean Mahoney|title=Interview with Lorinda Cherry|url=https://www.princeton.edu/~hos/mike/transcripts/cherry.htm|work=An Oral History of Unix|accessdate=25 November 2012}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite techreport |first1=M.
