It seems starting with old dictionaries is fraught with danger one way or the other. Based on all of this, and based on scowl being the only one being vetted in a consistent manner, and based on Tex2002ans's comments, I think we should probably stick with scowl plus some obvious additions.

So I am going to create dictionaries based on scowl 60 and 70 with proper accents, with the addition of the checked words Ashjuk found specific to US and UK, and with the new words as well.

Once I have those I can post them here and people can evaluate them.

If they appear to be a clear improvement over what we have now, I will push them to master.

How does that sound to everyone?
