Hi Nick,
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12168 picks up on some
incorrectly spelt words in aspell's British English dictionary. I
opened it, and Mark Florian has added a couple more.
It would be nice if a British English speaker could confirm our
spelling and move the bug on from Unconfirmed to New.
I'd be happy to take a look at some, but, i have no idea how/where to
get started..if someone could point me there ill take a look but iv
never done this before..
Thanks. If you look at the bug with the URL above you'll see the
command I ran on my system to show aspell didn't recognise the
spellings.
echo offensive/advisor/panellist/practice | tr / \\012 | aspell pipe
Try it with a word it does know to see how the output differs.
echo test | tr / \\012 | aspell pipe
The `locale' command I used will confirm you're in an en_GB (English,
Great Britain) locale.
If you get the same results, and you agree that the words Mark and I
have spelt are correct British English, then tick the `Confirm bug
(change status to NEW)', add a comment giving your view, and hit
`Commit'.
It may ask you to log in to your Bugzilla account at that stage, which
is a simple case of registering with an email address. You can register
and log in beforehand if you prefer.
Cheers,
Ralph.
Tested, i am in en_GB for all
offensive is correct.
advisor should be adviser according to the oxford dictionary, advise,
adviser, advisroy.
panellist isnt in my dictionary _at all_ however panel only has one L so
i would spell it 'panelist' but as far as i can help you, its not a word
at all. - its not in *my* dictionary, it may be in others.
Practise is a verb like learning the drums over and over, practice is a
noun like a doctors practice - the place where he works
going to fill in the form now.
Nick
