- If you need the dictionary for spellchecking, than construct your own. I
- have sone just that (for another reason), and have an English dictionarydi
- that is roughly 400,000 words and a multilingual dictionary, that is
- approxiamately 1.3 million "words". I quote the words, some of the
- entries are not true words, but short phrases (8 or less characters)
- comprised of smaller words.
