History

Garrett Wollman eb1a3bd8ca Say goodbye to `freen' and` freend'. freen: imputed typo in original wordlist. I can find no evidence for this being an actual English word, not even in the OED. freend: archaic spelling of `friend'. In a modern document, it is far more likely that this appears as a typo or a dialect word than it does under the original meaning, so remove it as not to cause false negatives for spelling checkers.		2003-01-24 20:51:03 +00:00

WEB ---- (introduction provided by jaw@riacs) -------------------------

Welcome to web2 (Webster's Second International) all 234,936 words worth.
The 1934 copyright has lapsed, according to the supplier.  The
supplemental 'web2a' list contains hyphenated terms as well as assorted
noun and adverbial phrases.  The wordlist makes a dandy 'grep' victim.

FreeBSD Maintenance Notes ---------------------------------------------

Note that FreeBSD is not maintaining a historical document, we're
maintaining a list of current [American] English spellings.

A few words have been removed because their spellings have depreciated.
This list of words includes:
    corelation (and its derivatives)	"correlation" is the preferred spelling
    freen				typographical error in original file
    freend				archaic spelling no longer in use;
					masks common typo in modern text

--

A list of technical terms has been added in the file 'freebsd'.  This
word list contains FreeBSD/Unix lexicon that is used by the system
documentation.  It makes a great ispell(1) personal dictionary to
supplement the standard English language dictionary.
