Re: [libreoffice-users] Specialized dictionary

That "add to word list" type of thing is what I did to get some of the 
words I used for these emails to include in my next version[s] of my big 
word list dictionaries.

I think there was about 800 +/- to 1,000 +/- words going to be added to 
each list.  I have to do some work on the dictionaries to get them ready 
for publication.  Actually I cannot find the updated lists.  They are 
not in my "word list folder" so I have to rebuild them, again, or I just 
forgot where that folder really is.

Been really busy, so I have not had time in the last months to do the 
work needed.  Rebuilding them is running the word list files and the new 
word list[s] through a package and then changing the .oxt files.  That 
is 11 current ones, plus one new one.  The 638K lists will go to 639K 
and there will be one en_US that is over 700K as the new one.

So yes, if someone has a text file of a list of words that are the 
CORRECT spelling, I can make a modified dictionary .oxt file to include 
those words, either as a separate .dic file in the .oxt file or included 
in the en_US, en_CA, or en_GB .dic files.

I could have a 1 million word list, but they are words that have 
alternative and rare spellings for many words, and they are not 
completely verified.  Now having mineral names as will as other science 
names/terms [including medical and chemical words] would be good to have 
for a larger word list.  I think the planned 700K+ list does have US 
medical and chemistry words in it.

I guess it would be really great for most of us to start our own dictionaries of technical words for whichever area we work in but i haven't a clue how to do that either so i just add to the standard dictionary each time.
