Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3 new "very large" English dictionaries are now online

For now the 3 new versions of my dictionaries will be only found on the 
NA-DVD dictionary page.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.6-installs/dictionary.html#english

In a few days or a week or so from now, I will go and wade through the 
process to upload the new versions to the
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/american-british-canadian-spelling-hyphen-thesaurus-dictionaries
page.  Right now, that page shows a warning that my extensions may not 
be still supported.  Well I am still supporting them as well as I can.

The three dictionaries are created from lists of words that are 
separated into American English, British English, and Canadian English.  
The dictionaries have their versions of English, en_US, en_GB, and en_CA.

----

A poster has stated that there may be problems with the Canadian 
dictionary.  Something about some specific word spellings that they do 
not think is "pure" Canadian words, but American word spellings.  For my 
part, I did not choose the words in each of the set of word lists.  What 
I can say is that the words for the Canadian dictionary has come from 
sources that state that the words are Canadian words.  The British and 
American words are from word lists that come from lists stating that 
these are British words and American words.

I am not a authority in what is the differences between each of the 
versions of the English language.  So, I look to other groups and 
organizations that know much more about these things than I do.  If 
someone does not like the spelling words I use, please take my 
dictionaries and edit out the words they thing that are not words that 
are not "pure" English for their version of the language.

So, I do not have answers on what is or is not "pure" and "proper" words 
for American/en_US, British/en_GB, and Canadian/en_CA, English.  I rely 
on these more authoritative groups and agencies. If individual people 
have a degree in linguistics, then I will pass along their problems with 
specific words in questions.  I will change my word lists based on their 
updated lists.

NO, I will not give out my resources or places where I get my word 
lists.  Everyone can find my sources, if they look for them.  They seem 
to have new ones every year or two, or so I have seen.
