--- Comment #7 from Tex2002ans <[email protected]> --- > Thank you, Tex and Marco! Marking as "moved" to the relevant repository. Nice. Didn't know "MOVED" was even a thing. I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future. > I'm almost hesitant to file any new words, but I will when I find them. Yes, definitely do it. If you find an issue in: US English - Submit to SCOWL's Github. --- https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist --- http://wordlist.aspell.net/ British (or other) English - Submit to Marco's site. --- https://proofingtoolgui.org/ - - - Marco's mentality is more: - "add every valid word under the sun" Where SCOWL's default mentality is more: - "add the most commonly used words / spellings" then supply larger dictionaries if needed. (Can be found at the aspell link above.) This helps with extremely rare words that are most likely typos: - calendar vs. calender --- ("a thing you keep dates on" vs. "a machine to press cloth"!) If you lean too far in the list-every-word direction, the squigglies won't be as helpful! :) (99%+ of people WILL NOT be talking about the pressing machine!) - - - > Wow! I never imagined I'd stir up so much activity. > > Thanks to everyone for caring so deeply about this. It just goes to show what > can be done when the community gets involved! Heh. Words are exciting! :) I explained a bit more details on Spellchecking Dictionaries here: - https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/yq7nnz/adding_wiktionary_as_source_for_spell_check/ivns42r/ - https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/rfwn0q/having_used_libreoffice_for_a_while_i_feel_the/ I stumbled upon SCOWL and these dictionaries years ago while working on something else, and I've been hooked ever since. (Similarly, LanguageTool is an open-source grammarchecker. It's also fun submitting grammar errors there!) - - - > Let me know when/if you need me to verify/validate it. Happy to help, even in > such a small way. This was a great start! :) There's always: - New words getting created - OR old words that gain popularity - OR spelling/usage changes over time - OR interesting data to dig up. Like "briar" overtaking "brier" in US English back in the 1920s! Honestly, I've never even SEEN the "-er" spelling before! Although now I'll definitely be on the lookout. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
