I have to admit I was surprised myself that the majority in my list were derivations of existing words and not unknown.
I know nothing about how spellcheckers work, but I was puzzled that they do not seem to be able to detect the simple addition of 's' to pluralise a word, or an apostrophe to denote possession. I have deleted a lot from my list that were just that.
From what you have said it appears that by trying to fix this might open up a huge can of worms. Perhaps it would be best for all just to leave things as they are and carry on adding words to a default user dictionary as they are encountered.
I will probably abandon the checking for the UK. It's a very time consuming operation checking each word in the list against a dictionary. But if you do manage to find a way of amending the word lists I will pick it up again.
Thanks for taking a look anyway.
