3 The dictionary word list has been significantly increased by merging in a large number of new words from the British word lists in SCOW- Spell Checking Oriented Word Lists, Revision 6 August 10, 2004 by Kevin Atkinson
5 "The SCOWL is a collection of word lists split up in various sizes, and other categories, intended to be suitable for use in spell checkers. However, I am sure it will have numerous other uses as well."
7 The latest version of SCOW can be found at http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
9 I have also modified the dictionaries.xcu file to give unique files names to the en_GB hypenation
10 dictionary and the US thesaurus in this extension to prevent unwanted interaction with other English dictionaries. Thanks to Robert Black for his assistance with this.

90 I, Cameron, downloaded the en-AU dictionary file from http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/spell_dic.html in order to package it correctly for use in Mozilla applications and distribution through addons.mozilla.org. It was last modified on 2003-03-29. I received no reply after emailing the author, and such have decided to make my own fork (is it still a fork if the previous one isn't maintained?) for Mozilla :) I have also decided to change the license to the GNU General Public License - as per section 3 of the LGPL.
92 The en_AU dictionary is credited to Kelvin Eldridge (previous maintainer) <audictionary@onlineconnections.com.au>, Jean Hollis Weber and David Wilson (originally licensed under the LGPL.)
