Far from "Pretensionness" - I think adding "Flossisms" to the OOo Dictionary (and the Mozilla Dictionaries) would be a good thing. I think OOo should add these words, (if they are not already in the dicitionary) OpenOffice.org, Calc, Mozilla, Thunderbird, Firefox, Sunbird, Gimp, KDE, Linux, GNU, GNU/Linux, FSF, Konqueror, Koffice, AbiWord, etc. At least add the ones for the OOo project - but I would add at least the top three (OOo, Moz, and Linux). Maybe someone who knows more about this stuff than me should come up with an "Open Source Language Dictionary" that could be used for all open source projects. It could have plugins for spell checkers, dictionaries, and thesauri, (although most of the words wouldn't work for thesauri). I mean, the recognition of words is important. If OOo says that the word "OpenOffice.org" is misspelled, that sends a bad message about the project, and if it says Mozilla is misspelled, that makes it look like we don't recognize them. I'm pretty sure MS Office includes the words "Microsoft", "Powerpoint", and "Clippy" in their dictionaries/spelling lists. It's just good marketing. -Chad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
