COPYRIGHT, SOURCES, and CREDITS: -The en_US and en_CA dictionaries come directly from SCOWL (up to level -60) and is thus under the same copyright of SCOWL. General discussion should go to the -wordlist-devel at sourceforge net mailing list.

Bug reports should go to the Issue Tracker found on the previously -mentioned web site. 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. 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. + +ADDITIONAL NOTES: The NOSUGGEST flag was added to certain taboo words. If you +have specific issues with any of these dictionaries please file a bug +report at. + +General comments on these list can be sent directly to me at or to the wordlist-devel mailing lists +(). + +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 +to help determine why that is.

Please do let me know +if you end up publishing a customized dictionary. If you find them useful please send me a quick email at + +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 or by +modifying speller/make-hunspell-dict in SCOWL. The +en_GB and large dictionaries are made available on an experimental +basis. + +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. 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. The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size +70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are +considered almost equal. + +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 "ise" and "ize" 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.
