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

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

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

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

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

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