Yes, K doesn't automatically mean bytes. When somebody makes
$100K per year, they're not earning their pay in bytes.
In any case, that line in ispell.1X is horribly obsolete. I just
did a quick test of the largest word list I have; it did 80K roots
in 1.7 seconds on my laptop. I'm going to remove the line; I
didn't realize it was still there.

Hi,
Package: ispell

The patch is in the attachment.
Sorry for the delay, Thanks for the patch, I've just applied it
in git,
see [1].
As your patch was apparently for the older version of ispell
(3.3.02),
some of your corrections were already there. Additionally I've
changed
your fix for:
"-munching a normal-sized dictionary (15K roots, 45K expanded
words)"
from:
"+munching a normal-sized dictionary (15\ kB roots, 45\ kB
expanded
words)"
to:
"+munching a normal-sized dictionary (15000 roots, 45000
expanded words)"
as K meaning just "kilo", i.e. "thousand", here seemed more
sensible to me.

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean
it
is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't
her's. It
isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
