Answer 1

For my purposes, the level of automation you provided here was too risky -- the words were going to include proper nouns -- so I built a bit more of a check into the system.

I'm appending the corrections for a file-write later in the process.

Thought this would be helpful for others as the documentation wasn't quite sufficient for me...

for data_field in fields:
    checker.set_text(str(data_field))
    for err in checker:
        print err.word
        print err.suggest()
        correct = raw_input("provide 0-index int of correct word or i to ignore, e to edit ")
        if correct == 'i':
            pass
        elif correct == 'e':
            suggest = raw_input("")
            err.replace(suggest)
        else:
            correct = int(correct)
            suggest = err.suggest()[correct]
            err.replace(suggest)
    corrected_text.append(checker.get_text())
