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

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

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

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

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