Description-en: American English dictionary for ispell (large)
This package provides the american-large dictionary, based on the americanlrg+
dictionary supplied with the source for ispell, with additional words added
from the more comprehensive wamerican-large word list package.
.
This is larger dictionary than the one installed by iamerican. Nothing
prevents you installing both (and others) at the same time.
.
There are also -small, -huge, -insane, and standard versions of this
dictionary, and there are ibritish* packages as well.
.
The package also suggests wamerican-large because ispell's (L)ookup
command needs a word list.
