> I'm currently setting up a whole new Scotstext site - not
> yet available though if you want to consult the few texts
> that are already there, they're at http://scotstext.org/new.asp

>
> There's one page I've just set up which you might want to
> use or provide feedback for. It's the Scotstext spelling
> correction wordlist at:
>
> http://scotstext.org/lexicon/variant_wordlist.asp
>
> This is a list, each line of which contains the preferred
> spelling for Scotstext house-style (not always my own preferred
> spelling), followed by all the variant spellings I've found
> in the actual texts.
>
> It contains about 14,000 words, not including the variant
> spellings. With the variants it comes to about 18,000 words.
>
> If you see any spellings you object to, let me know (with
> reasons!) and I'll think about changing them - anything
> that will improve the quality of the wordlist and
> subsequently the Scotstext texts.
>
> Don't bother reporting obvious mistakes unless you really want
> to - obviously with a list this size it will take some time
> for me to eradicate all these.
>
> Feel free to download the wordlist for your own use if it
> happens to be useful to you in anyway - change it in any
> way you like.
