Description-en: Canadian English dictionary words for /usr/share/dict

This list can be used by spelling checkers, and by programs such
as look(1).
.
This is an even larger list than the one installed by wcanadian-large;
nothing prevents you installing both (and others) at the same time.

There are also -small and standard versions of this word list,
and there are wbritish* and wamerican* packages as well.
