Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Spell checker "breaks" in Windows XP LO 3.5.2

IT seems that the "breaking dictionary" is mostly a Windows thing, if 
what I read is correct.

It is to be that my KPP [Kracked Press Productions] dictionaries would 
work and not "break".  As far as I understand, this issue is a somewhat 
hit or miss for people.  You could have one system work fine but a 
different system, same make/model/OS/etc., will not work properly.  Why 
it happens is the key to figure out a fix for it.

Sometimes I wonder if there is something in the "default" English 
dictionary is the issue.  I took a "non-English" dictionary that was not 
working for someone and un-archive it and open the parts into a text 
editor, then re-archive it.  Then the person who had the problems with 
the original one stated it worked fine now.  So, there could be 
something that "creeps into" the file/install somehow, somewhere, that 
triggers something for only a few users.

I have never heard of the Spell checking "breaking" in the Ubuntu 
installs, but someone could have had it happen.

I did my best to make sure my KPP dictionaries worked as well as 
possible.  I hope to update them one day.  I lost some of my work during 
one of my sick weeks and a "ooops I deleted the wrong folder" issue.  I 
had my 638,000 spelling word list over 700,000 words.  I even had one 
that was over 1,000,000 words, with most of the new words being 
not-popular-but-valid-spelling words.  I hope to get back to this in the 
near future.  The American English largest list is 638,644 words, and 
the British list is 638,285 words.
