by skpManiac, 7 years agoThis is an essential part of using Firefox, why the hell do Mozilla not just include it in the UK version, it comes with NO ability to spell check, but the US one has the US spell checker which for us in England is rubbish - get a grip Mozilla, and add spell checkers for all nations not just bloody America!
Thanks Marco for doing their work for them ;)

posted 7 years agoHello!
I have been working hard on the speller during my holiday.
I am trying to add as much possessives and plurals as possible and clean the .dic file by replacing words with flags (derivations), which is the reason why the add-on's filesize is the same or decreased in the last release.
You can always check the list of changes here: https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict
I have also taken the suggestion of a person who e-mailed me and am now trying to check Wikipedia articles more closely, mainly the ones from important fields so that if someone is writing an essay on a subject, they will have most of the words from that subject.
Thank you for the five stars review, my dear brother.
Kind regards,

Thank you.
Stay tuned for 1-JAN-2026, as I have been fixing many American words that shouldn't be there.

- Rated 5 out of 5by zenscape, 3 years agoThe big failing of Firefox is the lack of correction as you type. This addresses it 100% for me. Thank you, Marco!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17608574, 3 years agoThere are some words missing, but let's acclaim the author's big work for making it!
Developer response
posted 3 years agoYes, there are thousands of words missing.
I can't find them all by myself, that is why I need users to e-mail them to me or open a ticket in GitHub.
Thank you, dear brother!

Works really well! Thank you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dr. Chas A Bowles MD, 4 years ago
