There's a total of 158,030 words in it, ranging from canadian english with accents to british without accents. Just because 34 people may find one word that isn't in the dictionary, doesn't mean that this isn't a worthy idea. If your thoughts were along the lines of, "It's not perfect, there'd be a few words left out", then you need to seriously reconsider every suggestion put forth in this forum. There will always be a few people you can't please. But in my honest opnion, 99.99% of the people who would use this, would get satisfactory results.
Furthermore, the tech savvy, or people who don't mind reading a put, can import their own word lists they mind find scattered here and there throughout the Internet if 158,030 isn't enough for them.
Also, one last point before it gets brought up, yes, the other language dictionaries are just as long. Actually they're longer. The English aspell dictionary was 2.3MB, whereas for example, the Spanish one is 7.0MB, and the Ukranian one is 12.0MB, while the Italian one is just 770k.
