Hi Linda,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your respoinse. To qualify my initial request, I should state that I would like such information</div>
<div>in a machine readable format (i.e single file which I can process with bash/python/perl/etc....). I'm a bit too lazy to effectively crawl those sites right now (and am not sure what my/their rights are in that respect).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>FYI, so far I've come across this site which has been helpful:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~ROGER/corpora.html">http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~ROGER/corpora.html</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not all confusables, but they can be pruned using an existing dictionary.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone knows of any more i'd still appreciate any pointers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Simon</div>
