hunspell-en-GB
This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original LGPL licence. It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk and Andrew Brown: - numerous Americanism have been removed - numerous American spellings have been corrected - missing words have been added - many errors have been corrected - compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other people - far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to you all for your greatly appreciated help. This word list is intended to be a good representation of current modern British English and thus it should be a good basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world outside North America. The affix file has been created completely from scratch by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL. In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to reproduce the most general rules for English word formation, rather than merely use it as a means to compress the size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this will facilitate future localisation to other variants of English. Please let David Bartlett <dwb@openoffice.org> know of any errors that you find. The current release is R 1.18, 11/04/05
