Not really, Websters tends to define words differently then other dictionary compaines. As such they could easily prove that a list of words is 'thier's.' It would be nice to have a more up to date list, but until someone has the time to sit down and enter them.... perhaps there is already an onnline resource that 'we' could borrow from? I know there are tons of scrabble dictionaries onnline... Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
