Description: The U.S. dictionary contains the word 'biblical' but not biblically. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. Type the word 'biblical' Actual Results: See the word underlined in red as misspelled. Expected Results: Word is accepted as spelled correctly Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Parse the word without flagging it, as it is correctly spelled. I suspect other English versions have the same issue, as I don't think there is another acceptable way to spell that word.
So add it to your personal dictionary? Typically just the root noun are loaded not the adjectival forms.
@Marco, any perspective on adverbial forms?
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2) > @Marco, any perspective on adverbial forms? Yes, Kevin Atkinson didn't add it to the US dictionary. A few individuals complained that in the GB Dictionary I add “all words under the sun”, but I have been checking word by word, adding possessives and all the derivates I can find. For the US dictionary, you need to open a ticket in Kevin's GitHub: https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist However, years go by, and no updates are released for US (since he doesn't add the “words under the sun”). Just my two cents. :-)
OK then, not valid but the addition would be => NOB The current 2020-12-07 build of the SCOWL project dictionary does not assign an aff value to the two listed entries "bible" or "biblical"1 supporting adverbial forms. LO is probably overdue to bring current its en-US.dic from SCOWL for use in HunSpell, that would not change anything for this issue.
Hey Tina, Thanks for this report! I submitted "biblically" to SCOWL as: - Issue #367 - https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/issues/367 I am also changing this from NOTOURBUG -> MOVED, just like we did in your previous Bug #153402. - - - And "biblically" *does* exist in SCOWL currently, but it's in a much bigger dictionary. If you really wanted to get it in LO... HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE HUGE SCOWL WORD LIST Go to this page: - http://app.aspell.net/create?defaults=en_US 1. And choose: - SCOWL Size: 80 (huge) 2. Check which boxes/options you want: - Spelling --- American / British - Hacker / Roman Numerals --- I'd uncheck these. The rest, I would leave as defaults. 3. Press the: - "Download as Hunspell Dictionary" button. 4. Unzip + you should be able to drop the DIC + AFF files into the LibreOffice dictionary folder. - - - Note: Although, be warned, that "size 80" SCOWL dictionary has A LOT of very obscure words/terms. (Like very rare medical/botanical terminology, etc.) - - - > A few individuals complained that in the GB Dictionary I add “all words under the sun”, but I have been checking word by word, adding possessives and all the derivates I can find. lol. That was me! And it wasn't a "complaint". Just an observation of methodology. Your dictionary: - All valid English words + very fast, always updating. SCOWL dictionaries: - Most common English words by default + slower updates. - (Rarer + all English words available as alternate lists!) Both are including lots and lots of English words, just focusing on slightly different aspects by default. :) > However, years go by, and no updates are released for US [...] Last SCOWL update was December 2020! Not everyone updates like a certain Marco-machine! :P I'll have to give KevinA another poke though. > (since he doesn't add the “words under the sun”). That's where I was having fun focusing my research too, on the rarest of all rare words. :) Your list+LanguageTool reports help me spot new words/terms + changes on the bleeding-edge too.
