Hi Frank,

Questions :
Is UK the country code, or GB ? In the example given in dictionary.lst GB is used. Isn't the name for the thesaurus file th_en_US_v2 ? I downloaded the thesaurus some days ago, with DicOOo, and I got this new name.

A good answer always creates a new question ...


I'm somewhat puzzled by the question.
I always though Great Britain and United Kingdom mean actually the
very same. Thus the question did surprise me a lot.

They are not exactly the same thing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles_%28terminology%29

- Great Britain (as a geographical term) = the largest island
- Great Britain (as a political entity) = England + Wales + Scotland
- The United Kingdom (a sovereign state) = England + Wales + Scotland + Northern Ireland
