tl;dr: Is an update to the myspell-en Oxford spelling dictionary really wanted by anyone?
If you don't know or don't care, you can safely ignore all the rest. app-dicts/myspell-en-20081002 works, but newer, better dictionaries are available. It's maintainer-wanted, so I'm taking a crack at an update. My constraints are that I must leverage myspell-r2 and must use dictionaries that have been rolled up into LO/AOO extensions (OXTs). That path is extremely clear and easy, whereas all other paths are polished cliffs to this newbie. The issue is that I can only find one one OXT which provides Oxford spelling.⃰ I can install it, but it makes hunspell throw errors which make me think there's something inherently wrong with the files. So, is an update to the Oxford spelling dictionary really wanted by anyone? If so, I will try to get a dev to help me accommodate you. If not, you can just keep using the 2008 dictionary and I can rest. * http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/projectrelease/english-dictionary-based-oxford-english-dictionary-103
