+These dictionaries are created using the speller/make-hunspell-dict
+script in SCOWL.
-===================================================
-en_AU:
-This dictionary was based on the en_GB Myspell dictionary
-which in turn was initially based on a subset of the
-original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for
-Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original
-LGPL licence.
+The following dictionaries are available:
-The credit for this en_AU dictionary goes to:

+ en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling)
+ en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling)

+ en_US-large

+ en_GB-large (with both "ise" and "ize" spelling)
-- Words incorrect in Australian English removed
-- a list from the previously removed words with corrected spelling was added
-- a list of major rivers was added
-- a list of place names was added
-- a list of Australian mammals was added
-- a list of Aboriginal/Koori words commonly used was added
+The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and,
+to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling
+variant for a word. The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size
+70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are
+considered almost equal. Also, the general quality of the larger
+dictionaries may also be less as they are not as carefully checked for
+errors as the normal dictionaries.
-A total of 119,267 words are now recognized
-by the dictionary.
+To get an idea of the difference in size, here are 25 random words
+only found in the large dictionary for American English:
-Of course, special thanks go to the editors of the
-en_GB dictionary (David Bartlett, Brian Kelk and
-Andrew Brown) which provided the starting point

+If none of these dictionaries suite you (for example, maybe you want

-===================================================
-en_CA:
-The dictionary file was created using the "final" English and Canadian SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists) wordlists available at Kevin's Word Lists Page (http://wordlist.sourceforge.net). Lists with the suffixes 10, 20, 35, 50, 65 and 65 were used. Lists with the suffixes 70, 80 and 95 were excluded. Copyright information for SCOWL and the wordlists used in creating it is reproduced below.
+The dictionaries are now in UTF-8 format instead of ISO-8859-1. This
+was required to handle smart quotes correctly.
-The affix file is identical to the MySpell English (United States) affix file. It is a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by his BSD license.
+ADDITIONAL NOTES:
----
+The NOSUGGEST flag was added to certain taboo words. While I made an
+honest attempt to flag the strongest taboo words with the NOSUGGEST
+flag, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT I FLAGGED EVERY POSSIBLE TABOO WORD.
+The list was originally derived from Németh László, however I removed
+some words which, while being considered taboo by some dictionaries,
+are not really considered swear words in today's society.

- of correctness or fitness for any particular purpose. Neither I nor

+MARCO A.G.PINTO:
+Since the dictionary hasn't been updated for many years,
+I decided to fork it in order to add new words and fixes.
+
+I even added words such as common names of software and hardware.
+
+I grabbed Mozilla's version since it wasn't obfuscated. Alexandro Colorado and I
+tried to unmunch the OpenOffice version but all we got was garbage.
+
+The dictionary icon in the Extension Manager was designed by Pedro Marques.
+
+The sources used to verify the spelling of the words I included in the dictionary:
+1) Oxford Dictionaries;
+2) Collins Dictionary;
+3) Macmillan Dictionary;
+4) Wiktionary (used with caution);
+5) Wikipedia (used with caution);
+6) Physical dictionaries
+
+Main difficulties developing this dictionary:
+1) Proper names;
+2) Possessive forms;
+3) Plurals.
