+en_US-mozilla Hunspell Dictionary

+
+README file for English Hunspell dictionaries derived from SCOWL.
+
+These dictionaries are created using the speller/make-hunspell-dict
+script in SCOWL.
+
+The following dictionaries are available:
+
+ en_US (American)
+ en_CA (Canadian)
+ en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling)
+ en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling)
+ en_AU (Australian)
+
+ en_US-large
+ en_CA-large
+ en_GB-large (with both "ise" and "ize" spelling)
+ en_AU-large
+
+The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and,
+to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling
+variant for a word. 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. Part of SCOWL is also based on Ispell thus the
+Ispell copyright is included with the SCOWL copyright.
+
+The collective work is Copyright 2000-2018 by Kevin Atkinson as well
+as any of the copyrights mentioned below:

+ lists, the associated scripts, the output created from the scripts,

+ "as is" without express or implied warranty.
+
+Alan Beale <biljir@pobox.com> also deserves special credit as he has,
+in addition to providing the 12Dicts package and being a major
+contributor to the ENABLE word list, given me an incredible amount of
+feedback and created a number of special lists (those found in the
+Supplement) in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL.
+
+The 10 level includes the 1000 most common English words (according to
+the Moby (TM) Words II [MWords] package), a subset of the 1000 most
+common words on the Internet (again, according to Moby Words II), and
+frequently class 16 from Brian Kelk's "UK English Wordlist
+with Frequency Classification".
+
+The MWords package was explicitly placed in the public domain:
+
+ The Moby lexicon project is complete and has
+ been place into the public domain. Use, sell,
+ rework, excerpt and use in any way on any platform.
+
+ Placing this material on internal or public servers is
+ also encouraged. The compiler is not aware of any
+ export restrictions so freely distribute world-wide.
+
+ You can verify the public domain status by contacting
+

+ grady@netcom.com
+ grady@northcoast.com
+
+The "UK English Wordlist With Frequency Classification" is also in the
+Public Domain:
+
+ Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 20:27:21 +0100
+ From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk>
+
+ > I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English
+ > Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to
+ > be lacking any copyright notice.
+
+ There were many many sources in total, but any text marked
+ "copyright" was avoided. 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:

+
+The 40 level includes words from Alan's 3esl list found in version 4.0
+of his 12dicts package. 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. Anyone is free to use it or distribute it in
+ any manner they see fit. No fee or registration is required for its
+ use nor are "contributions" solicited (if you feel you absolutely
+ must contribute something for your own peace of mind, the authors of
+ the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your
+ favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble
+ community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers
+ may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please
+ mention the source and credit us as originators of the list. Note
+ that if you, as a game designer, use the WORD.LST in your product,
+ you may still copyright and protect your product, but you may *not*
+ legally copyright or in any way restrict redistribution of the
+ WORD.LST portion of your product. This *may* under law restrict your
+ rights to restrict your users' rights, but that is only fair.
