Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work x . . .

The dictionaries come from many sources, groups, and individuals.

I put out three versions of English:
American English, British English, and Canadian English.

This is the link to the American English dictionary that has over 
773,000 words, plus thesaurus.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/kpp-american-english-dictionary-plus-tech-words-773407-words.oxt

This is the list of all of the English dictionary extensions I know of.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html#english

The LO package includes an English dictionary that includes several 
different version of English.  Why these versions we combined into one 
extension, I do not know.  The big reason for the different versions 
[there are over 20 for Spanish], is the fact that we have localized 
versions per country or region. America spells "Color" one way, but 
British and Canada spells it "Colour". There are many words that are 
spelled differently in the USA vs. in England or Canada.  These 
differences are why we have localized dictionaries.

"American English 2012 dictionary"?
The only one I know of is shown in the Extension Manager as
     "American English spelling-hyphenation-thesaurus-773407 words 
2012.06.24"
That is the one I linked above.

The reason for the 2012 date is due to the fact that June 24th of 2012 
was the last modification of that dictionary extension file.

I have not seen an "official" American English 2012 dictionary out 
there, as of yet.  But I may update my English dictionaries again before 
the year is out.

Where did I get my information - i.e. word list - from?  Well there are 
many sources of spelling word lists out there in the electronic ether 
and I found them over the years and collected the words into one set of 
lists for American, British, and Canadian versions of English.  Back in 
the 1980's I did a spell checking dictionary project at a college and 
there were about 177,000 words in that list back then,  Now my lists are 
all over 600,000 words each.
