Re: [libreoffice-users] Specialized dictionary

I wonder how many of the mineral type of words are in my largest 
dictionary[s]?  It[they] has[have] over 638,000 words in it.
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html#english
My dictionaries start with "kpp" in this list of "English" dictionaries.

Well, if I had a typed source of all of the needed words, in a list or a 
document that can be converted to a list, then it is easy to add them to 
an existing dictionary or create one specifically for it.

I would not trust me typing skills to type up a list of minerals from a 
printed source.  So, having a "text" document for the computer to 
convert to a list of words is not hard.  BUT if the words are to go in a 
spelling list, then they must be spelled correctly.

If I had a trusted source for the words, I would add them to a 
"specialized" list for science related words.
