This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the
|
|||
|
|
original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for
|
|||
|
|
Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original
|
|||
|
|
LGPL licence.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk,
|
|||
|
|
Andrew Brown and Marco A.G.Pinto:
|
|||
|
|
— Numerous Americanisms/spellings have been removed;
|
|||
|
|
— Missing words have been added;
|
|||
|
|
— Many errors have been corrected;
|
|||
|
|
— Compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate;
|
|||
|
|
— Thousands of proper/places names have been added;
|
|||
|
|
— Thousands of possessives have been added;
|
|||
|
|
— Thousands of plurals have been added;
|
|||
|
|
— Thousands of duplicates have been removed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other
|
|||
|
|
people — far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to all for
|
|||
|
|
your greatly appreciated help.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This wordlist is intended to be a good representation of
|
|||
|
|
current modern British English and thus it should be a good
|
|||
|
|
basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world
|
|||
|
|
outside North America.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The affix file has been created completely from scratch
|
|||
|
|
by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published
|
|||
|
|
rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to
|
|||
|
|
reproduce the most general rules for English word
|
|||
|
|
formation, rather than merely use it to compress the
|
|||
|
|
size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this will
|
|||
|
|
facilitate future localisation to other variants of English.

|
|
this repository (https://github.com/az0/google-trend-names). The geography was

My scientist friend, Peter McGavin, told me that in NZ they use British, so I decided
|
|||
|
|
to do something about it. I did the same for UK. I searched on Wikipedia for "towns",
|
|||
|
|
"counties", "villages", "boroughs", "suburbs", etc. and based me on:

MARCO A.G.PINTO:
|
|||
|
|
Since the dictionary wasn't updated for many years, I forked it to add new words and fixes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I grabbed Mozilla's version since it wasn't obfuscated. Alexandro Colorado and I
|
|||
|
|
tried to unmunch the OpenOffice version but all we got was rubbish.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The dictionary icon in the Extension Manager was designed by Pedro Marques.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The sources used to verify the spelling of the words I included in the dictionary:
|
|||
|
|
1) Oxford Dictionaries;
|
|||
|
|
2) Collins Dictionary;
|
|||
|
|
3) Macmillan Dictionary;
|
|||
|
|
4) Cambridge Dictionary;
|
|||
|
|
5) Merriam-Webster Dictionary (used with caution ⚠);
|
|||
|
|
6) Wiktionary (used with caution ⚠);
|
|||
|
|
7) Wikipedia (used with caution ⚠);
|
|||
|
|
8) Physical dictionaries.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Main difficulties developing this dictionary:
|
|||
|
|
1) Proper names;
|
|||
|
|
2) Possessive forms;
|
|||
|
|
3) Plurals.
