142 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
143 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
144 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
145 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
147 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
148 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

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

202 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
203 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
204 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
205 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
206 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
207 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
208 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
209 better quality, and is supported upstream.
210 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
211 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
212 following binary packages:
213 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
214 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
215 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,
217 wenglish (dummy package to install wamerican, for upgrades)
218 Closes: #170490: wenglish: Package contains a non-DFSG-compliant list
219 Closes: #141707: wbritish: seems to be missing some very basic words
220 Closes: #165251: wbritish: Missing word ('behemoth')

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