> Use option 'i' if the word is valid (even if affix rules composition not).

I would suggest:

    Use option 'i' if this is a correctly spellled word.

and leave the issue of affix composition out of the message.

Incidentally, the affix rules have nothing to do with roots and
derivatives; they are merely lexical rules.  Ispell cares only about
strings of letters, not how the language uses the words.  Thus, it
suggests Schaf+t because it knows that you can add "t" to some words to
get another valid word.  Similarly, with a small English dictionary,
ispell will suggest that "mother" is the comparative form of "moth".

Software, like bridges, should be elegant and visually pleasing as
well as functional.  Ugly constructs, designs, and languages should be
avoided like the plague.
