Excellent that we have this dictionary. Shame we have to add it as an add-on rather than coming as standard in Firefox!
I realise that Mozilla is a US organisation but think it's reasonable to expect fuller language support.
There are some errors in this dictionary though: I noticed that words ending -ize are treated as correct whereas that is invariably the USA form, in Britain we tend to only use the -ise form.

Hello!

Thank you for your comments.

GB also uses -IZE in most words according to the Oxford Dictionary (but there are exceptions).

As a premium account holder of the Oxford Dictionaries, I have access to more information regarding the words, where it states in -IZE words "also blah blah -ISE".

I wrote an example in the FAQ:
http://proofingtoolgui.org/faq.html#11

But pressing the link there will only show the full Oxford description to premium users, persons who are just visitors won't see it. Nothing I can do about it.

I believe that persons from Australia and Canada use -IZE and this speller can also be used by them.

I am planning to create a module for my Proofing Tool GUI tool to allow future AU+CA maintainers to create a list of words to add and to remove in/from the GB speller, so that they can create high quality spellers for their countries, based on mine (it is in my TO-DO list)... what I don't know is who would be interested in such a hard task.

My brother, kind regards!

I will continue working on the speller.

    The big failing of Firefox is the lack of correction as you type. This addresses it 100% for me. Thank you, Marco!

    There are some words missing, but let's acclaim the author's big work for making it!

    Yes, 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!

    Non-native speaker communicating with other non-native speakers in British English, simply because I hate American English.
    Works really well! Thank you.

    This is one of the best dictionaries available on any platform/app/system. Not only has it the most complete set of words, venturing into many different branches of knowledge, but it's also very actively updated, with lots of words added and revised every month. If it's taken into account that this is an open-source initiative, it's not only amazing, it's really amusing. I wish dictionaries for other languages were this well maintained!
