As an avid Scrabble player (and writer/editor using scientific writing standards), I can attest that I have never seen a dictionary or word-list that is truly comprehensive of the English language.
The spellchecker I use for an app I created for work contains 174,000 words, and still frequently misses words that are a regular part of epidemiology jargon. If you think about it, there really is not one single standard set of English words. Authorities in various specialties (such as medicine, chemistry, and presumably computer science) frequently create words that no one outside of a particular group of people would ever use. For example, 'legionellosis' is a well known disease not recognized by my word list. In broadcast news jargon, 'sot' is an acronym-become-word that is very frequently used. The scrabble dictionary lists 'xi', 'xu', 'aalii', 'eaux', 'qurush', 'qanat', 'qat', 'qoph', 'cwm', 'suq', 'ai','ae','aa', and 'oe' as words! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Salyers Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 10:41 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: unscribe At 01:02 AM 2/4/2005, you wrote: >I want to unscribe to this mail list. > >Thank you Am I missing something?
