Re: [libreoffice-users] testing out 2 new large word list English dictionaries.
Thanks Winston I was one day going to look into learning Python, but I am afraid that my programming days are over. The strokes damaged parts of my brain that dealt with communication skills and programming skills, among others. I tried to relearn C/C++, but it was not going to happen. I would like to see a simple working code in Python though. If I ever decided to try to retrain the programming part of my brain, I was told to try Python. The dictionary word lists are not in an special type of array, so far as I can tell. The list sample below is part of an Oxford English dic file. After the / is the codes for the system to use. I really have not found a good reference to what these codes each indicate, except some appear to be suffix indicators. The word lists I now use do not have codes, but still work well. When I dealt with word lists and code indicators, these codes would shrink the amount of space you need to store the dictionary lists. Back when RAM/ROM was in the price range of 32 to 64MB for $100 or more, the more space you can save, the better. Now we all get sloppy in our code size. Since we do not need to have a chess game fit onto a single 1.44 MB floppy, we do not write that tight codes. As long as it is quick enough, correct? Well not everyone is like that now. abbreviation/M abdicate/DNGSn Abelard/M abider/M Abidjan ablaze abloom aboveground abrader/M Abram/M abreaction/MS abrogator/MS abscond/DRSG absinthe/MS absoluteness/S absorbency/SM abstract/ShTVDPiGY absurdness/S On 11/05/2011 11:05 PM, Winston C.

Re: [libreoffice-users] testing out 2 new large word list English dictionaries.
Sorry Tom, but maybe not. The way my head was the last few days, I might not have noticed if there was a 300 pound tiger sleeping on my bed instead of the 15 pound tiger cat called Knobby. Many days worth of lack of calories, lack of heavy pain killers [6 scripts worth that could not be kept down] tends to make my mind not see things straight or even knowing things are real. I take equivalent to Morphine with my scripts, since I could not drive or function with the more powerful single medication. With the 6 meds instead of one, I can drive legally and still have the power of Morphine without the addiction and the side effects. Now this week I will be making the 98K word list version of my dictionaries for testing. Actually I may add the Canadian version to the American and British English ones. I only have a 45K word list for Oxford English, though. . On 11/06/2011 08:15 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Pulling your leg?? I think you would have noticed?

Re: [libreoffice-users] testing out 2 new large word list English dictionaries.
I have been offline, think near hospital stay illness, since just after I posted this list. So I have gotten back to answering the replies. Thanks for Tom to give the help/hint on installing the file to Windows. The .zip issue was due to the Extension Center for LO and a Mime-type error with the file storage. So my original one I had in the test version of the center was redone as an externally hosted file till that issue is resolved. The links I used for the initial post came directly from a dictionary list on my domain, http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html not the LO Extension Center. fewer words I opened the word lists with each word on a separate line, like needed. Then I did a line count with a text editor. I had to have a proper count for the words, for the system to use the file[s] correctly. Unlike some lists that use controls at the end of words helping with suffix word forms, the lists I use does not have them. The suffix control version my take less space but would take more processing power to do the adding of the suffixes, plurals, possessive forms, etc., over that of a straight list that include all the word forms. I used the counts from the package to give the actual number of spellings in the list[s] as my number of words. The largest of the American lists is 638,644 words and for British 638,285 words. I could give you the word counts for all the lists I have, including the one for 217K words, but it is not needed, or is it? Last time I did a dictionary spelling project at a college, the total number of words was over 177K. It used the suffix control method to fit as many words in the rom memory chips as possible. Actually that was when IBM Compatible desktop computers were in the 286 CPU stage. Now there are over 600K word lists. The issue of actual fewer words could be there are words that are not included based upon if that spelling is used in American English or British English. I have seen some words that are spelled a way or two that I did not expect, but are proper according to the sources I have. I did not create the lists from scratch. They are from a source I trust. The real thing I am looking for help with is what you, the users, would like to have for an English spelling dictionary. I could test them out hours, days, weeks, months, etc., but it would be with my use and needs. I want others to decide if it is useful for THEM. I choose the 217K word list version as a starting ground. I may, for my personal use, go back down to the 98K size word list version. I would like to know what you think? Would you prefer the 50K, 98K, 217K, or larger word list for an English spelling dictionary for LibreOffice. If I could unlock the default one, I would for my testings. As far as I remember, the included default English en_US or en_GB had about 50K words in its US and GB word lists. I could actually check if needed. So please let me know what you think. What size of word lists would you like? I have been talking to Tom on and off about a larger word count dictionary for LO/OOo for some months. I just decided it was time to get my feet wet again. The funny thing I saw in an older word list, once, was one that did not have the word dictionary in it at all. If I still could remember my basic C programming, I would write a program comparing the different word lists to see which words are not common, but after 3 strokes I have not programmed such a package in many years. Actually a few months after the last stroke.

Re: [libreoffice-users] testing out 2 new large word list English dictionaries.
webmaster: Possibly a convenient language for comparing the word lists would be Python. --- Python has a data structure dict (dictionary, hashtable, associative array). --- Python has a data structure set. If you wish, I can email you short, working, example code.

Re: [libreoffice-users] testing out 2 new large word list English dictionaries.
Hi :) I think you have choices. I think you can just double-click on an oxt file and that installs it in LibreOffice or else open Writer or something and click on Tools - Extensions Manager - Add and then browse to where-ever you downloaded or saved the file to. I could be wrong but i heard that one of the list might have incorrectly put .zip instead of .oxt at the end of the file. I'm not sure how to handle that if it has except to try one of the other lists of words and see if that seems to have the same problem (unlikely).
