The file "en-us.dict" is taken from the "american-english" word list supplied
in the Debian "wenglish" package. A small amount of processing was used
to produce this file:
cat /usr/share/dict/american-english | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | sort \
| uniq > en-us.dict
"en-us.dict" is to be considered "freely redistributable," and is not
