I've had to move dictionary stuff to the far back burner for now, |
15 |
thanks to too much real life stuff. |

I don't think there exist unabridged spellchecking dictionaries, but |
18 |
it's possible to create a pretty big one. See |
19 |
<http://wordlist.aspell.net/>, the "create a customized wordlist" |
20 |
link. ("Emeried" is in the wordlist for "SCOWL size" >=80. You can |
21 |
check to see what words are in what lists by using the "check if a word |
22 |
is in SCOWL" link.) If you download a Hunspell dictionary, you should |
23 |
just be able to unzip it (both the .aff and .dic files) |
24 |
into /usr/share/hunspell -- that should make it available system-wide. |

How to get SeaMonkey to use a new dictionary, I'm not certain. |
27 |
With Firefox, you right-click in a text box and choose an option |
28 |
under "Languages". Maybe this extension would help: |
29 |
<https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/dictionary-switcher/>. |
30 |
|
31 |
Firefox 39 and some soon-to-be-released SeaMonkey should come with a |
32 |
newer en_US dictionary, per |
33 |
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1133363>. But I don't |
34 |
think it's possible to use the bundled dictionaries with Gentoo's |
35 |
built-from-source Mozilla packages. Maybe seamonkey-bin would do it. |
