| -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.
