This is complete <censored/>. Why don't you just admit that you have absolutely no clue about how the dictionaries (or for that matter hunspell/affix compression as a whole) works? Unless you provide the spellchecking dictionaries that IBM uses and prove your point, you should really shut up and let the topic rest. And it's irrelevant whether IBM uses a different spellchecking engine. If the dictionaries are not copyrightable, then show them, provide them to the project. And we'll see how to hook them up to OOo/LibreOffice/other projects. But I bet you can't. As they are copyrighted. Because you're talking about "wordlists", "phonebooks" and the like, but not about dictionaries. So once again: Either stop wasting everybody's time, or provide the dictionaries that IBM uses in Symphony. 30 messages in this thread already. I cannot believe it. Get productive instead of playing with words! ciao Christian
