The objective of this project is to develop and maintain a top quality English dictionary for use with Mozilla, and Thunderbird, the open source web browser and email client. From version 1.5 onwards Mozilla includes the spelling checker as standard. Thunderbird has always included it.
Mozilla is available for a wide range of different computing platforms and a large number of different languages.

We are keen to hear of any bugs or errors that you discover. Please report them to David Bartlett (email details are in the README file with the dictionary package). Simply jot down a description in an email and send it to me.
If you are willing to help with checking of the word list, we'd be thrilled to have your assistance. It is best to work with the full word list in this case. Please see the Editorial Guidelines and Borderline Words list for more information.
