116 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
117 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
118 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
119 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
121 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
122 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

124 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
125 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
126 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which

176 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
177 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
178 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
179 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
180 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
181 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
182 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
183 better quality, and is supported upstream.
184 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
185 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
186 following binary packages:
187 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
188 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
189 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,

196 Closes: #147959: wenglish: Spelling "plebian" is nonstandard
197 Closes: #175906: wenglish: should be called wamerican
198 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
199 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
200 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
201 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
202 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
203 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
204 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
205 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
206 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
207 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
208 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
