History

Warner Losh 2b7d182bea Add one of the two root words adapted from scandinavian since 1066: ombudsman and its mate ombudsmanship since I've had ispell (which uses /usr/share/dict/words) flag it too many times. Thanks to phk for telling me the other word is kokkenmoding, an archaeological term for a pile of oystershells and other debiris from a stone-age household. I didn't add it to the list, however, since none of the online dictionaries that I looked at had it in them. Gotta find that oed lookup link :-)		1999-11-24 07:16:17 +00:00

WEB ---- (introduction provided by jaw@riacs) -------------------------

Welcome to web2 (Webster's Second International) all 234,936 words worth.
The 1934 copyright has elapsed, according to the supplier.  The
supplemental 'web2a' list contains hyphenated terms as well as assorted
noun and adverbial phrases.  The wordlist makes a dandy 'grep' victim.

FreeBSD Maintenance Notes ---------------------------------------------

Note that FreeBSD is not maintaining a historical document, we're
maintaining a list of current [American] English spellings.

A few words have been removed because their spellings have depreciated.
This list of words includes:
	corelation (and its derivatives) -- "correlation" is the preferred spelling
