Is a file of English language words available for anonymous FTP? I don't need definitions for my application. - Jim Van Zandt

Speaking of /usr/dict/words, I found this odd little word in the copy that comes with sunos4.1: gigaherz which looks suspiciously like gigahertz. I like to think of it as a misspelled billion and third person feminine possessive pronoun.

I've found many UNIX word lists that are chock full of misspelled words; I have a theory as to how they got that way, but the important thing is to fix them.

Is there an ascii dictionary available someplace? Not just the word list (/usr/dict/words) but one which contains the definitions? Thanks Jim Meritt
