Re: [libreoffice-users] calling all users - need missing terms for spelling dictionaries

Here is a link to the Geology dictionary at 
geology.com.  http://geology.com/dictionary/glossary-a.shtml  It has 
1 page per letter of the alphabet and is a true dictionary with 
definition, not just a list of terms.

I hope this helps.
