Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Introduction about me

Actually, the dictionary list did not have en_GB there when we started, 
since the OOo dictionary list did not have one.  I found it only a few 
weeks ago and added it to the NA dictionary list.

I just checked.  OOo's list still does not have en_GB, but they have:
----------------
1] Engligh                         Chemistry Dictionary
2] English                          English dictionaries with fixed dash 
handling and new ligature and phonetic suggestion support
3] English (Australian)        English Australian Dictionary
4] English (Canadian)         Canadian English Spell Checking, 
Hyphenation and Thesaurus
5] English (New Zealand)    English New Zealand Dictionary
6] English (South African)   South African English spell checking dictionary
7] English (US)                  US English Spell Checking Dictionary

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NA has:
---------

1 ] English (Australian)           English Australian Dictionary
2 ]

thesaurus_GB/US

* - not found on the OOo dictionary list.

I would like to show the date of the dictionary .dic file with the 
dictionary information showing which one is the most up-to-date.  The 
default English dictionary files[s] is several years old.  I found a 
.dic file from this year so I created a updated one that could be used.

English (Great Britain)      English-British en-GB-oed 2005-06-13

This en_GB dictionary has it's .dic file [i.e. word list] dated for June 
2005.  There must be a word list out there that is more up-to-date.  I 
did find an unabridge dictionary word list that has about 213,550 words 
in it. I have not looked at it to see if they made sure the words that 
"must" begin with a capital letter is capitalized.  I also have word 
lists with common sir names and a few that have only male and female 
names in them.  I have one that has Bible words and another one with 
movie character names, actor's names, etc., etc..

It would be nice to produce our own dictionaries with word lists that 
are not currently covered.  I wonder how many people would want one that 
has words, and maybe names, that are in the Christian Bible?  Many of 
those words are not part of the modern English language, since the most 
common versions of the Bible has language used before 1600, I believe.  
It would be mice to have a word list that is for other Science areas 
instead of just Chemistry.  I know that there was a person looking for 
Science related dictionaries, a few months ago.  Besides Chemistry and 
Medical ones, Latin was the only other one that could be Science based, 
or used in Science.

I do have a US English names .oxt file that was produced a few years 
ago.  It was dated October 2008, but "common" names do not change much 
or many new ones.  Of course, my last name is not in the list, or any of 
the common variations of it.  Maybe it is just Great Britain origin, not 
ones that have [other?] European origins.
