161 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.

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

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