--- Comment #5 from Tex2002ans <tex2002ans+libreoff...@gmail.com> ---
Hey Tina,

Thanks for this report!

I submitted "biblically" to SCOWL as:

- Issue #367
- https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/issues/367

I am also changing this from NOTOURBUG -> MOVED, just like we did in your
previous Bug #153402.

- - -

And "biblically" *does* exist in SCOWL currently, but it's in a much bigger
dictionary.

If you really wanted to get it in LO...

HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE HUGE SCOWL WORD LIST

Go to this page:

- http://app.aspell.net/create?defaults=en_US

1. And choose:

- SCOWL Size: 80 (huge)

2. Check which boxes/options you want:

- Spelling
--- American / British
- Hacker / Roman Numerals
--- I'd uncheck these.

The rest, I would leave as defaults.

3. Press the:

- "Download as Hunspell Dictionary" button.

4. Unzip + you should be able to drop the DIC + AFF files into the LibreOffice
dictionary folder.

- - -

Note: Although, be warned, that "size 80" SCOWL dictionary has A LOT of very
obscure words/terms. (Like very rare medical/botanical terminology, etc.)

lol. That was me!

And it wasn't a "complaint". Just an observation of methodology.

Your dictionary:

- All valid English words + very fast, always updating.

SCOWL dictionaries:

- Most common English words by default + slower updates.
- (Rarer + all English words available as alternate lists!)

Both are including lots and lots of English words, just focusing on slightly
different aspects by default. :)

> However, years go by, and no updates are released for US [...]

Last SCOWL update was December 2020! Not everyone updates like a certain
Marco-machine! :P

I'll have to give KevinA another poke though.

> (since he doesn't add the “words under the sun”).

That's where I was having fun focusing my research too, on the rarest of all
rare words. :)

Your list+LanguageTool reports help me spot new words/terms + changes on the
bleeding-edge too.
