Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: 3 new "very large" English dictionaries are now online

Give me a list of words as examples of one you feel are not correctly 
spelled in my Canadian dictionaries.

You know how hard it would be to use you information below to find the 
words you might be referring to?

Was it not Oxford English that started to change some of these 
"character" sets?  I read on one of the Wiki's that they were involved 
with the ise/ize changes for some words.  "ll" vs "l" is something I 
have not heard of before.  How do I know which words would be proper to 
use a "s" instead of a "c" or vise-a-versa.

It is much easier to use a list of words and then look them up. Then 
others on this list can agree with you or disagree.

I would like to know which group is the final authority on deciding 
which words are correct Canadian words and which are not.  We may find 
that one group states that a specific word is not correct while another 
group states it is correct.  Who is the one who gets to be the one who 
decided for all Canadians?  I know of no one group or organization that 
decides this for Canadian, USA, or British people.  Since Oxford English 
is a very small subset of British English, they are not an authority for 
all British people.

Now it is up to use to offer specifics.
