Kevin Atkinson has created an updated english hunspell dictionaries ( http://wordlist.aspell.net/dicts/ ) and it would be useful to integrate it within LibreOffice as it is currently being integrated into Mozilla ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1133363 ). It would be good to try and push the changes in LibreOffice's dictionaries upstream to Kevin or alternatively push it into Mozilla and then LibreOffice to use one of the two as its upstream. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/extensions/spellcheck/locales/en-US/hunspell

Status -> NEW
When I asked Nemeth by email about pushing LibreOffice's changes upstream into Kevin's or Mozilla's work, he stated: -------------------------- It would be better the upstream support, or a more simple patching process (the original part-of-speech/morphological data extender scripts are attached to an old OpenOffice.org issue), but Firefox hasn't used thesauri, yet (Safari does it). -------------------------- So what i get from this is that the our en-US.aff cant be upstreamed, but can en-US.dic? Was searching through the OOo bugzilla and found the bug where i believe the dictionary files were last updated from - https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=92383
I had opened a github issue at Kevin's repo where i filed the same issue - https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues/104
> Was searching through the OOo bugzilla and found the bug where i believe the > dictionary files were last updated from - > https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=92383 I don't believe the dictionary refereed to in that bug report was ever used. For one thing he only released it under the GPLv3. Per an agreement with Nemeth several years ago, I am the official maintainer of the American Hunspell dictionary, at least for the contents of the dictionary. I do not believe the American dictionary from Nemeth has been updated in a long time. I wrote some scripts to help Mozilla upgrade to the latest upstream version, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137544. I am not sure I have the time to do the same for LibreOffice, but perhaps someone can use those scripts as a starting point.
AOO seems to be regularly updating their english dictionaries. http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice
Yes, it is me who is updating AOO English Dictionaries monthly. For a few months that I have also placed the OXT at LO's Extensions page: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/english-dictionaries It would be great if it could be integrated into LO. Also, take a look at the project page: http://marcoagpinto.cidadevirtual.pt/proofingtoolgui.html And my GitHub from where you can download individual files: https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict At least you could integrate the British speller since I added 18'000+ new words since I embraced the task around 2-3 years ago.

So Marco pushed Kevin's dictionaries and his en_GB dictionary into master. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/34751/ He's also trying to get more works into the en_US dictionary in this github issue. https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist/issues/181
