Thanks Kovid, I will have a look into this.

You’re right, it looks like the French have to put their hands up for this one

There's a recently added feature to enable the importation of word lists into the editors user dictionaries - so I grabbed the tysto page and made a couple of lists - see attached zip.

There are dictionaries at the Apache Open Office site, which IMO are better than those from the Libre Office site - http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/...che-openoffice They're bigger and they have South African and Australian variants.

Thanks for the file - there’s a bazillion of these blighters

I can see from some of your posts in another thread that you’ve been wrestling with this a bit. I have been looking at it this morning and I thought I had created an edited dictionary which I then asked calibre to use for its spellings, but the ‘ize’ words were still getting through so I obviously haven’t got it right yet.
