134 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
135 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new

137 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
139 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
140 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

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

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

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

216 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
217 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
218 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.

220 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
221 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
222 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
223 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
224 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
225 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
226 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
