Also, the general quality of the larger +dictionaries may also be less as they are not as carefully checked for +errors as the normal dictionaries. The large dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size +70 and may include multiple spelling for a word when both variants are +considered almost equal. + +The following dictionaries are available: + + en_US (American) + en_CA (Canadian) + en_GB-ise (British with "ise" spelling) + en_GB-ize (British with "ize" spelling) + + en_US-large + en_CA-large + en_GB-large (with both "ise" and "ize" spelling) + +The normal (non-large) dictionaries correspond to SCOWL size 60 and, +to encourage consistent spelling, generally only include one spelling +variant for a word.
