The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size +70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are +considered almost equal. The larger dictionaries however (1) have not +been as carefully checked for errors as the normal dictionaries and +thus may contain misspelled or invalid words; and (2) contain +uncommon, yet valid, words that might cause problems as they are +likely to be misspellings of more common words (for example, "ort" and +"calender"). + +To get an idea of the difference in size, here are 25 random words +only found in the large dictionary for American English: + + Bermejo Freyr's Guenevere Hatshepsut Nottinghamshire arrestment + crassitudes crural dogwatches errorless fetial flaxseeds godroon + incretion jalapeño's kelpie kishkes neuroglias pietisms pullulation + stemwinder stenoses syce thalassic zees + +The en_US, en_CA and en_AU are the official dictionaries for Hunspell. +The en_GB and large dictionaries are made available on an experimental +basis. If you find them useful please send me a quick email at +kevina@gnu.org. + +If none of these dictionaries suite you (for example, maybe you want +the normal dictionary that also includes common variants) additional +dictionaries can be generated at http://app.aspell.net/create or by +modifying speller/make-hunspell-dict in SCOWL. Please do let me know +if you end up publishing a customized dictionary. + +If a word is not found in the dictionary or a word is there you think +shouldn't be, you can lookup the word up at http://app.aspell.net/lookup +to help determine why that is. + +General comments on these list can be sent directly to me at +kevina@gnu.org or to the wordlist-devel mailing lists +(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wordlist-devel). If you +have specific issues with any of these dictionaries please file a bug +report at https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues. + +IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED In 2016.11.20: + +New Australian dictionaries thanks to the work of Benjamin Titze +(btitze@protonmail.ch). + +IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED IN 2016.04.24: + +The dictionaries are now in UTF-8 format instead of ISO-8859-1. This +was required to handle smart quotes correctly. + +IMPORTANT CHANGES INTRODUCED IN 2016.01.19: + +"SET UTF8" was changes to "SET UTF-8" in the affix file as some +versions of Hunspell do not recognize "UTF8". + +ADDITIONAL NOTES: + +The NOSUGGEST flag was added to certain taboo words. While I made an +honest attempt to flag the strongest taboo words with the NOSUGGEST +flag, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT I FLAGGED EVERY POSSIBLE TABOO WORD. +The list was originally derived from Németh László, however I removed +some words which, while being considered taboo by some dictionaries, +are not really considered swear words in today's society. + +COPYRIGHT, SOURCES, and CREDITS: + +The English dictionaries come directly from SCOWL +and is thus under the same copyright of SCOWL. The affix file is +a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was +released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by +his BSD license.

Locally-written documentation was one + source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called + PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public + domain. + + Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100 + + > So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain? + + That is the intention. + +The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list. + +The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at +least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package. All +words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via +my inflection database. + +The 12Dicts package and Supplement is in the Public Domain. + +The WordNet database, which was used in the creation of the +Inflections database, is under the following copyright: + + This software and database is being provided to you, the LICENSEE, + by Princeton University under the following license.

Like his other stuff the 3esl list is also in the +public domain. + +The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words appearing +in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts +package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12 +dictionaries. A decent number of proper names is also included: The +top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a +list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added +myself. Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in +other word lists is included. + +The name files form the Census report is a government document which I +don't think can be copyrighted. + +The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the +"Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon +File". All of which is in the Public Domain. This file also contain +a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the +special/ directory. + +The 55 level includes words from Alan's 2of4brif list found in version +4.0 of his 12dicts package. Like his other stuff the 2of4brif is also +in the public domain. + +The 60 level includes all words appearing in at least 2 of the 12 +dictionaries as indicated by the 12Dicts package. + +The 70 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and the 74,550 common +dictionary words from the MWords package. The common dictionary words, +like those from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections +added. The 70 level also included the 5desk list from version 4.0 of +the 12Dics package which is in the public domain. + +The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the +ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics +Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words from the YAWL package, +and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package. + +The ENABLE package, mainted by M\Cooper <thegrendel@theriver.com>, +is in the Public Domain: + + The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released + into the Public Domain.
