136 now better organized; we take advantage of that by adding the new

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

143 won't include it. If you want that, and all the other really odd
144 words, please install and use the Debian "scowl" package.
145 * Added "Debian" and "Debian's" to english-proper-names.50, which

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

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

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

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