Hello!

Mozilla converted all dictionaries here to WebExtensions.

You must have the latest Firefox to be able to use them (V63 or above).

Then follow the instructions on my guide:

Hello!

Thank you for your comments.

GB also uses -IZE in most words according to the Oxford Dictionary (but there are exceptions).

As a premium account holder of the Oxford Dictionaries, I have access to more information regarding the words, where it states in -IZE words "also blah blah -ISE".

I wrote an example in the FAQ:
http://proofingtoolgui.org/faq.html#11

But pressing the link there will only show the full Oxford description to premium users, persons who are just visitors won't see it. Nothing I can do about it.

I believe that persons from Australia and Canada use -IZE and this speller can also be used by them.

I am planning to create a module for my Proofing Tool GUI tool to allow future AU+CA maintainers to create a list of words to add and to remove in/from the GB speller, so that they can create high quality spellers for their countries, based on mine (it is in my TO-DO list)... what I don't know is who would be interested in such a hard task.

My brother, kind regards!

I will continue working on the speller.

Hello!

Could you remove the speller and readd it?

There was a Thunderbird update that disabled the speller, not sure if it also happened with Firefox.

Also, notice that Mozilla (Firefox) automatically changed all the spellers add-ons to WebExtension.

This means, there are now two dictionaries:
1) Firefox: WebExtension;
2) Thunderbird: Legacy extension.

I believe that 1) won't probably work with older versions of Firefox.

If you have any issues reinstalling, please follow the guide:
http://proofingtoolgui.org/en_installing.html

If it doesn't solve the issue, please send me a private e-mail to try to see what happened.

Thanks!

EDIT: It is always a pleasure to help.

Dear Perce,

Thank you for the nice comments.

The only English dictionary I know of with the local variants is for LibreOffice and OpenOffice (yes, I am the guy who packs the extension for them).

My GB speller also has places from New Zealand, Australia and US.

It is used by other countries such as New Zealand.

A friend (I can't remember if he is from Australia or Canada) told me that the difference there is that they prefer -ize or -ise (can't remember) and since my speller uses -ize and -ise, I believe more than one country can use it.

The build from the other person is from 2006, if you look at his release logs.

That is why I took the task myself, since no one seemed to care.

A few weeks ago I tried pasting part of my wordlist into MS Word 365 and guess what the results were :p

lol

We are reaching a stage which no one has reached before.

I believe that the OpenStreetMap database is used by the British military. I credited it and now the military can also use Firefox and Thunderbird to write their messages, if they wish.

In a few years I have hope that mankind will reach a golden age in open-source software.

My dear brother, thank you for using my add-on.

Kind regards,

Thank you!

Yes, "google" is a verb:

I added it a long time ago.

:-)

EDIT: "Google" is also a company name if written in uppercase.

Thank you!

V2.63 is out!

The "civil parishes" list is huge and it will take me a few more months to add them all (I am adding with copy/paste all the missing ones, one by one).

Always remember that you can send me an e-mail if you find missing or incorrect words.
