This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the
|
||
original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for
|
||
Pspell and Aspell, and thus is covered by his original
|
||
LGPL licence.
|
||
|
||
It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk,
|
||
Andrew Brown and Marco A.G.Pinto:
|
||
— Numerous Americanisms/spellings have been removed;
|
||
— Missing words have been added;
|
||
— Many errors have been corrected;
|
||
— Compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate;
|
||
— Thousands of proper/places names have been added;
|
||
— Thousands of possessives have been added;
|
||
— Thousands of plurals have been added;
|
||
— Thousands of duplicates have been removed.
|
||
|
||
Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other
|
||
people — far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to all for
|
||
your greatly appreciated help.
|
||
|
||
This wordlist is intended to be a good representation of
|
||
current modern British English, and thus it should be a good
|
||
basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world
|
||
outside North America.
|
||
|
||
The affix file has been created completely from scratch
|
||
by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published
|
||
rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL.
|
||
|
||
In creating the affix rules, an attempt has been made to
|
||
reproduce the most general rules for English word
|
||
formation, rather than merely use it to compress the
|
||
size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this will
|
||
facilitate future localisation to other variants of English.

|

MARCO A.G.PINTO:
|
||
Since the dictionary wasn't updated for many years, I forked it in 2013 to add new words and fixes.
|
||
|
||
I grabbed Mozilla's version, since it wasn't obfuscated. Alexandro Colorado and I
|
||
tried to unmunch the OpenOffice version, but all we got was rubbish.
|
||
|
||
The dictionary icon in the Extension Manager was designed by Pedro Ribeiro Marques.
|
||
|
||
The sources used to verify the spelling of the words I included in the dictionary:
|
||
1) Oxford Dictionaries;
|
||
2) Collins Dictionary;
|
||
3) Cambridge Dictionary;
|
||
4) Merriam-Webster Dictionary (used with caution ⚠);
|
||
5) Wiktionary (used with caution ⚠);
|
||
6) Wikipedia (used with caution ⚠);
|
||
7) Physical dictionaries.
|
||
|
||
Main difficulties developing this dictionary:
|
||
1) Proper names;
|
||
2) Possessive forms;
|
||
3) Plurals.

||
