Hi, recently, there has been a lot of activity to improve the state of English spell checking (in general, not directly related to LT). One major problem with it is that there's no single dictionary from which all the variants (US, GB, ...) can be derived. Instead, there are two en-GB dictionaries. Work is now going on to sync those dictionaries, so that in the long term we have one unified English spell checking dictionary. This is still quite some work and help is needed. If you're an English native speaker (no matter of which variant of English), please consider helping with this. Kevin Atkinson has a list of issues at github that you might help with at [1].
These two issues are especially relevant: https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues/64 https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues/65 Also, there's a new web app to create dictionaries of different sizes: http://app.aspell.net/create This web app will let you know if a word is in the latest list from Kevin: http://app.aspell.net/lookup [1] https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/labels/help%20wanted Regards Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Languagetool-devel mailing list Languagetool-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/languagetool-devel
