Om denna ordbok
It is almost impossible to find a purely British-English dictionary or word list. What is often labelled as 'en-GB' is almost always, in fact, International English.
This dictionary aims to include only those words conforming to the preferred standard of British-English spelling.
Editorial Policy
The original base word list and dictionary contained over 150,000 entries, compiled from various public domain sources. Entries that do not conform to the preferred standard of British-English spelling are removed.
The base word list and dictionary continue to be improved:
Inclusion Rules
This dictionary contains words conforming to the preferred standard of British-English spelling.
Installing and usage
Make sure you have the relevant language pack installed. As this is British-English, you need the official Mozilla English (GB) Language Pack.
Once your language pack is installed, add the dictionary.
Restart Firefox/Thunderbird (if required).
Open Source
The dictionary is under active development. Please get in touch if you would like to get involved.
