To: "Lostsoul" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 19, 2012, 8:33 AM The dictionaries come from many sources, groups, and individuals. I put out three versions of English: American English, British English, and Canadian English. This is the link to the American English dictionary that has over 773,000 words, plus thesaurus. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-plus-tech-words-773407-words.oxt This is the list of all of the English dictionary extensions I know of. http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english The LO package includes an English dictionary that includes several different version of English. Why these versions we combined into one extension, I do not know. The big reason for the different versions [there are over 20 for Spanish], is the fact that we have localized versions per country or region. America spells "Color" one way, but British and Canada spells it "Colour". There are many words that are spelled differently in the USA vs. in England or Canada. These differences are why we have localized dictionaries. "American English 2012 dictionary"? The only one I know of is shown in the Extension Manager as "American English spelling-hyphenation-thesaurus-773407 words 2012.06.24" That is the one I linked above. The reason for the 2012 date is due to the fact that June 24th of 2012 was the last modification of that dictionary extension file. I have not seen an "official" American English 2012 dictionary out there, as of yet. But I may update my English dictionaries again before the year is out. Where did I get my information - i.e. word list - from? Well there are many sources of spelling word lists out there in the electronic ether and I found them over the years and collected the words into one set of lists for American, British, and Canadian versions of English. Back in the 1980's I did a spell checking dictionary project at a college and there were about 177,000 words in that list back then, Now my lists are all over 600,000 words each.
