README file for English Hunspell dictionaries derived from SCOWL.
|
|
|
|
The following dictionaries are available:
|
|
|
|
en_US (American)
|
|
en_CA (Canadian)
|
|
en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling)
|
|
en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling)
|
|
|
|
en_US-large
|
|
en_CA-large
|
|
en_GB-large (with both "ise" and "ize" spelling)
|
|
|
|
The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and,
|
|
to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling
|
|
variant for a word. The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size
|
|
70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are
|
|
considered almost equal. The larger dictionaries however (1) have not
|
|
been as carefully checked for errors as the normal dictionaries and
|
|
thus may contain misspelled or invalid words; and (2) contain
|
|
uncommon, yet valid, words that might cause problems as they are
|
|
likely to be misspellings of more common words (for example, "ort" and
|
|
"calender").
|
|
|
|
To get an idea of the difference in size, here are 25 random words
|
|
only found in the large dictionary for American English:
|
|
|
|
Bermejo Freyr's Guenevere Hatshepsut Nottinghamshire arrestment
|
|
crassitudes crural dogwatches errorless fetial flaxseeds godroon
|
|

|
|
