90 and a recent version (having elanguages support) before trying

131 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
132 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
133 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
134 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
136 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
137 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
138 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
139 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
140 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
141 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
142 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

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

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

213 * My sincere gratitude to Agustin Martin Domingo for paying attention to
214 ispell and the english word lists while I was preoccupied, and for his
215 NMUs during the dictionaries-common transition.
216 Closes: #164257: wbritish: Please update your wbritish package to IDWP new policy
217 Closes: #164260: wenglish: Please update your wenglish package to IDWP new policy
218 * 'Pharoah' is only in the "huge" SCOWL dictionary, which is normally
219 considered unreasonable for spell checking (too many false positives);
220 I suggest you add it to your own personal list, or install the scowl
221 package and create the huge list (or one customized to your needs).
222 If you disagree with upstream's classification of that word, please
223 reopen the bug report with some explanation, and I'll happily forward
