145 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new

149 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
150 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

152 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
153 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.

204 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
205 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
206 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
207 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
208 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
209 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
210 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
211 better quality, and is supported upstream.
212 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
213 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
214 following binary packages:
215 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
216 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
217 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,

224 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard

226 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
227 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
228 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
229 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
230 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
231 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
232 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
233 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
234 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
235 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
236 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
