Thank you for this, it was very helpful. But it looks like some changes are
unnecessary. At least benefitting is known to GCIDE as well as the verb forms
using ell instead of el (labelling, travelling, etc.).

What dictionary did you use ?

Cheers,

I used en_US. grep shows that these tting lling forms are in the
en_GB and en_CA aspell dictionaries. Wiktionary also indicates my
corrections are the US form and the original spellings are UK or
commonwealth. So this appears to be more of US vs. UK English. Sorry,
I hadn't realized that and should perhaps have put them in my UK-US
English patch.

This patch has been educational.
