69 wamerican, but use the new hardcoded ones. Split
70 installdeb-wordlist stuff for wamerican and the rest of the

106 * debian/rules and debian/control: Added -huge versions of the
107 american, canadian, and british word lists. Upstream word lists are
108 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new
109 size "40" word lists to the standard lists, the size "55" word lists
110 to the -large lists, and the size "80" word lists to the (new) -huge
112 Closes: #317422 dictionaries-common: sightlines/metallicity
113 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the
114 upstream size "95" lists, so (by my policy) even the -huge lists
115 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
116 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
117 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which
118 gets them into the standard, -large, and -huge lists.

167 * New upstream package (SCOWL) replaces previous upstream sources for
168 wenglish and wbritish; wenglish had been built from a (possibly)
169 non-free source (linux-words), and wbritish had been built from a
170 relatively incomplete source (words extracted from the ispell british
171 dictionary). SCOWL (Spell-Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a
172 collection of English word lists maintained by Kevin Atkinson at
173 http://wordlist.sf.net, is completely Free, is of significantly
174 better quality, and is supported upstream.
175 Thanks to Brian Nelson <nelson@bignachos.com> for suggesting we use
176 the SCOWL wordlists. This source package (scowl) now creates the
177 following binary packages:
178 wamerican, wamerican-small, wamerican-large,
179 wbritish, wbritish-small, wbritish-large,
180 wcanadian, wcanadian-small, wcanadian-large,

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

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