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

What I was hoping to do would be create one for LO, like you can find 
for medical and chemical terms.

I know that there was at least one user who asked if we know of where 
he/she could find one for she/her field of science.

There are a lot of fields of education that have their own terms that 
people in the educational field - teacher and student - could use spell 
checking dictionaries for the terms used in their fiend of study or 
teaching.  I sure could have used one when I had to type up my notes for 
my classes in college.  Back then MSO did not have a lot of the terms in 
its spelling system.
