Dictionaries US/CA
Hello!
Yesterday (2015-02-15) Kevin Atkinson released an update for US and CA.
I have been working on en_GB but so far I have only added around 300 new
words this month, because I have been terribly busy.
I will try to add as many as possible before the official .OXT release
on 2015-03-01.
:-P
The news: the next update will have newer US+CA+the usual monthly GB update.
We are heading in the right direction and, in a year or two, we will
have the best open-source dictionaries... at least for GB since it has
over 10 000 new words since I embraced the project...
I want people to write Masters/PhD thesis with AOO in a year from now...
the trick is to use also the LanguageTool add-on for grammar checking (I
am creating the Portuguese rules for it).
PS->I can't remember if I already mentioned this, but I bought an Oxford
Gold Account in the beginning of the year to have access to all
examples. I hope people will realize that this is a serious effort to
develop the best en_GB around, soon better than commercial software.
:-) ;-) :-P :-D 8-)
Kind regards,

I like it, your enthusiasm is great and all users of it will benefit
from your work.
