Hello!
I have been releasing monthly updates and sharing all the missing words
I add to GB in Kevin's GitHub.
What happens is that I am adding too many words in short periods of time
and I swamp Kevin's GitHub with many hundreds of missing words.
From the words I share, Kevin only uses some.
Since I have an Oxford Gold Account (which I bought just for the task of
improving GB - yes, I am silly, you may think), I have access to the
whole Oxford examples.
What now happens is that, even though I have 40.txt, 50.txt and 60.txt
from Kevin, I only add the words from there after checking them myself
one at a time.
I have found that some are American and others are written differently
in Oxford's dictionary. That is why in this month's update (tonight I
will release 1-MAR-2015 since it is ready for a day or two) I have 735
new words, almost none of them from Kevin's txts (this happened because
of the Gold Account which gave me access to a huge source of words).
This is what I wrote on Mozilla's ML a few days ago (please notice that
tonight's version has 147 665 words - V2.22):
There are three versions on Mozilla's extensions site:
*1) Mark Tyndall's*
136 404 words
*2) Lucas's **(updated)*
136 404 words - just the FF, TB and SM versions have been changed
*3) Marco A.G.Pinto's (forked) - 2.21*
146 930 words - 10 000 new words
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2
This is also the official version that ships with Apache OpenOffice:
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice
Every month, around 600 new words are added.
I didn't change the licence, so it is the same as Mark's and Lucas'
I have been trying my GB to become the default in Mozilla and
LibreOffice (built-in) but I don't know the people I should annoy...
maybe Kevin and László?
Also, before packing the new GB I added:
5105) Fri (abbreviation: Friday)
5106) Jun (abbreviation: June)
5107) Jul (abbreviation: July)
5108) Sep (abbreviation: September)
Yes, I typed all weekdays and months by hand to make sure they were all
there, and these four were missing.
Like I mentioned before, I want in a year from now, for people to write
Masters/PhD thesis using my GB and LanguageTool.
Thanks for your time!
Kind regards from your friend,
>Marco A.G.Pinto

Hi,
this questions goes mostly to Marco, but it may be interesting for
others, too: I see you're regularly updating your English dictionary,
which is great. Is there progress in getting your dictionary and that of
Kevin Atkinson closer together? Is there a metric for that, like the
size of the diff of both dictionaries (after unmuch and sort)?
Regards
Daniel
