add a ton of words from anarcat's personal dictionary #197
Comments
This is gold mine of a list. Thanks for speaking up. I've added most of them in the latest commit. |
neat! i added a bunch of comments on that commit, because i think you went a tad to far on some. ;) sorry! |
@anarcat To answer the question about where the original dictionary came from. It originally came from wooorm/dictionaries (which if I understand it correctly came from ASpell originally). But we've adapted it over time to fit harper's needs. |
No, thank you. I've replied to your comments. If you want to add more words, just reopen this issue. |
so i have this growing dictionary that i built to exclude common words from harper's error messages. i mentioned one word in a discussion (#171) but was encouraged to report more if i find them, so here we go.
This is the actual dict right now:
dictionary.txt
Some of those are pretty technical terms that maybe don't belong in a general dictionary, but perhaps could live in a separate dictionary that could be enabled on demand?
Acronyms like this, for example:
or names like this:
There's also some oddballs in there, like:
that you probably don't want to add in your dict (yet: what do you do with proper nouns? always mark those as errors?)...
Finally, those are actual english words that I think are missing from the dictionary as well:
Which makes me wonder: where does that default dict come from? It seems like it's missing quite a bit of stuff... Note that my web browser marks those as real words:
and everything else is marked as an error (yes, even "flappy", so perhaps you're not the only one with that problem. ;)
anyways, i hope that helps! i can keep updating this issue with new words as i keep the dictionary in git here and can provide just the diff for next times. ;)
