Does it matter that the list originally came from ispell? Its role here is fundamentally different. For a spell checker, you only care what combinations of letters are valid words. For a stemmer, you only want to know which "words" are derived from a common stem. Unless the same actual file is used for spell checking, it is not clear why it matters what spell checker people use.

You might want to reconsider the '/S' flag; it produces 'birthes', not 'births' as you might expect. (The '*h -> es' rule suits words like 'wreath'.) That rule and its use are among the things I hope to clean up after 3.2.0b5 is out... > Let's get the doc changes in. Then, if we can > get the xml stuff in for 3.2.0b5, great.
