I am testing out 2 new .oxt extensions.  They are about 5.5MB each in size.

If you would rather see the 98K word list, or the other sizes, let me
know.  I will be working on testing them out later.  But, for my fist
testing, I decided to go with a large word file.

Here are the links.

I tested installation of this one on the current master build,
installation worked, but how does one know if it has replaced the
initial dictionary ?

In the extension manager you should see British English with the 217K listing name. If you have one that specified en_GB dictionary, and this one was the last to be installed, then it is replacing the en_GB list. Or, in case you have a dictionary that is "locked" like the default English once, it would be used as an additional list to work with, i.e. adding more words to the list. That is what I understand happens.

Actually I made a mistake and forgot to designate it was en_GB instead of just "en" for that list and forgot the same with the en_US list. Both had the plain "en" designate and if I installed GB, my US version was removed from the names on the list, and back and forth, till I finally figured out my error. Now I have both 217K word spelling dictionaries installed. I have not yet figured out a way to have a 98K American word list and the 217K version included at the same time with one disabled and the other one active. It would be nice to have more than one option available.

Also, I am hoping to find the en_GB thesaurus controlling system for the British version, but until I do, I include the en_US version and state it so.

Also, Oxford GB English is slightly different than "standard" Great Britain English. Some have to do with "proper" spelling for words that use to end with "ize" but is now becoming standardized with Oxford English sources with "ise" instead. That came from a WiKi page. en_US and en_GB versions are different with Oxford in that respect. That is like the four French dictionaries shown in the Extension Center. Each have "their" preferred spelling "standard" of words as the language changes.
