I'm not certain whether this updates /usr/share/dict/words; if it doesn't, then I may be out of date there. >Description: /usr/share/dict/words is missing a number of perfectly ordinary past participles. I'm sure the ones listed below are not the full list; they were found while idly looking for words spellable in hexadecimal :-). dabbled decoded defaced doodled effaced coddled cooled felled faddled addled These are all past participles of verbs that *are* in the dictionary. Also missing, but not a past participle: "beddable", found in SOED5 and Chambers. (I haven't any US dictionaries to check.) >How-To-Repeat: egrep dabbled /usr/share/dict/words (etc) >Fix: Add those words. For bonus points, find all the verbs in the dictionary whose past participles are missing, and add them. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
