-README file for en_US and en_CA Hunspell dictionaries
+README file for English Hunspell dictionaries derived from SCOWL.
These dictionaries are created using the speller/make-hunspell-dict
-script in SCOWL, version 7.1 released on January 6, 2011.
+script in SCOWL.
+
+The following dictionaries are available:
+
+ en_US (American)
+ en_CA (Canadian)
+ en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling)
+ en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling)
+
+ en_US-large
+ en_CA-large
+ en_GB-large (with both "ize" and "ise" spelling)
+
+The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and,
+to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling
+variant for a word. The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size
+70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are
+considered almost equal. Also, the general quality of the larger
+dictionaries may also be less as they are not as carefully checked for
+errors as the normal dictionaries.
+
+To get an idea of the difference in size, here are 25 random words
+only found in the large dictionary for American English:
+
+ Bermejo Freyr's Guenevere Hatshepsut Nottinghamshire arrestment
+ crassitudes crural dogwatches errorless fetial flaxseeds godroon
+ incretion jalapeño's kelpie kishkes neuroglias pietisms pullulation
+ stemwinder stenoses syce thalassic zees
+
+The en_US and en_CA are the official dictionaries for Hunspell. The
+en_GB and large dictionaries are made available on an experimental
+basis. If you find them useful please send me a quick email at
+kevina@gnu.org.
+
+If none of these dictionaries suite you (for example, maybe you want
+the larger dictionary but only use spelling of a word) additional
+dictionaries can be generated at http://app.aspell.net/create or by
+modifying speller/make-hunspell-dict in SCOWL. Please do let me know
+if you end up publishing a customized dictionary.
+
+If a word is not found in the dictionary or a word is there you think
+shouldn't be, you can lookup the word up at http://app.aspell.net/lookup
+to help determine why that is.
+
+General comments on these list can be sent directly to me at
+kevina@gnu.org or to the wordlist-devel mailing lists
+(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wordlist-devel). If you
+have specific issues with any of these dictionaries please file a bug
+report at https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues.
+
+ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The NOSUGGEST flag was added to certain taboo words. While I made an
honest attempt to flag the strongest taboo words with the NOSUGGEST
flag, I MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT I FLAGGED EVERY POSSIBLE TABOO WORD.

+The list was originally derived from Németh László, however I removed
some words which, while being considered taboo by some dictionaries,
are not really considered swear words in today's society.
