Hello.
Thank you for the link.
I will try it when I next boot up the Debian 7 system (which, at present,
happens about once a month, for a couple of hours, due to what is involved).
Regarding the proverb that you have included above, I believe that the
originator is wrong; if people do nothing, and allow evil, then they are not
good; they are complicit in the evil.
My simplified (and, I believe, more accurate) version of that proverb, is
"Evil flourishes where apathy prevails"
.
Unfortunately, the version 2.29 of Seamonkey at the above link, appears
to be not a working version.
I downloaded and installed it, then found that a british english
dictionary is not available (spellchecking for outgoing email, is
useful, but, does not prevent the sending of badly spelled messages in
the absence of a spellchecking dictionary) for the version 2.29, but,
also found that the mail component would not either create a Sent
messages folder, or, copy sent messages to that folder (which it would
not create).
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/language-tools/
(there is even one for English (Australian)...)
I had tried to download and install the listed british english
dictionary, but got an error message, statiung that it was not
compatible with the version
("seamonkey-mozilla-build_2.29.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb 2014-09-27")
of Seamonkey that I installed.
I had clicked on the link for the dictionary immediately below the one
on the same line as the text "British English"
"
English (British) English (British)
Install Dictionary (235.3 kB)
Install Dictionary (257.0 kB)
"
- the 235.3kb one produced the incompatibility error
and the second one had appeared to be USA english.
I will try again with the 257kb one, the next time I boot up the
particular computer.
"Australian English" is like Danny de Vito referred to "Military
Intelligence" in a movie in which he starred (I do not remember the name
of the movie - it may have been "Military Intelligence" - I do not
know); an oxymoron.
Whatever I may think of the british, I regard British English (as in the
Oxford English Dictionary English), as the true English language (and
spelling), and so I prefer to use a british english dictionary for
spellchecking, where I can perform automated spellchecking (I haven't
yet managed to get it set up in PINE or ALPINE).
