132 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
133 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

135 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
136 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.

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

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

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