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

120 "Sightlines" is now in the -huge lists; "metallicity" is only in the

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

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

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

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