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

128 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
129 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
130 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
131 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

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

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