- por soulrebelno1, el hace 2 añosSe valoró con 5 de 5Great add-on and a must have! Now, if people would learn to structure their writing properly, use proper grammar and a spell checker, then I might just be able to understand what the hell they're on about. Remember to install your Firefox language pack as well ;-)
- por PERCE-NEIGE, el hace 2 añosSe valoró con 5 de 5To reply to another user. This addon gets intalled automatically, and it's visible when you right click in a text area (when you write text) >language>English (United Kingdom) and it allows you to make a spell checking in your text area. If you don't know how to use a dictionary in Firefox, please don't insult the dev, thanks.
By the way, I'm looking for an English dic with all the local variants, US, Autralian, British, etc...Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 2 añosDear 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.

Excellent work thank you very much. - por Usuario de Firefox 14262889, el hace 2 añosSe valoró con 5 de 5Much better than the simplified English they keep trying to force down our throats
- por MT025, el hace 2 añosSe valoró con 5 de 5Great! Not sure why the built in one wasn't working, but this works perfectly, thanks

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.

- por Cyberknight, el hace 2 añosSe valoró con 5 de 5This is by far one of the best add-ons ever made, for any platform, for any program, and for free! It's too bad that other dictionaries doesn't have the same kind of effort and passion. It's essential for anyone seriously writing in British English.
I was just curious about why it doesn't have a perfect five-stars score and started reading some comments... Well, Einstein was right about the infiniteness of some human features... It's stunning how some people are simply unable to use a browser dictionary, or to understand how it works and why, and then they waste time coming here to complain about their inabilities...
Anyway, I've been using this dictionary for so long and just had to thank the author for the amazing work! Forget those that apparently don't even know how to "Google" it. Thinking about it, is "to google" a verb, already...?Respuesta del desarrollador
publicado el hace 2 añosThank you!
Yes, "google" is a verb:

I added it a long time ago.
:-)
EDIT: "Google" is also a company name if written in uppercase. - por JustBoris, el hace 2 añosSe valoró con 5 de 5This guys doesn't get enough credit. It may not be the most glamorous of add-ons, but it is fundamental for me.

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. - por Terran, el hace 2 añosSe valoró con 5 de 5
