7 The 1934 copyright has lapsed, according to the supplier. The
8 supplemental 'web2a' list contains hyphenated terms as well as assorted
9 noun and adverbial phrases. The wordlist makes a dandy 'grep' victim.

16 FreeBSD Maintenance Notes ---------------------------------------------
18 Note that FreeBSD is not maintaining a historical document, we're
19 maintaining a list of current [American] English spellings.
21 A few words have been removed because their spellings have depreciated.
22 This list of words includes:
23 corelation (and its derivatives) "correlation" is the preferred spelling
24 freen typographical error in original file
25 freend archaic spelling no longer in use;
26 masks common typo in modern text
30 A list of technical terms has been added in the file 'freebsd'. This
31 word list contains FreeBSD/Unix lexicon that is used by the system
32 documentation. It makes a great ispell(1) personal dictionary to
33 supplement the standard English language dictionary.
