I'd be lost without this add-on! I've only come across a very few number of words that are not in the Canadian English Dictionary.

programme & recognise to name only a few. FAIL!

"Programme" is considered a secondary spelling - many of those words were excluded from the list simply to save space. I'll get it added to the next version.

In Canadian English, however, "-ise" is considered incorrect. Only a handful of words are exceptions to that general rule:

Works great.

One suggestion might be to have an option to suggest addition of missing words.

Flags all plurals as an error so each must be added to the dictionary. Does the same with words in past tense ending with ed.
Also causes Thunderbird to crash 100% of the time when exiting the program. Nothing is lost as you were closing the program normally anyway.

Almost one word per sentence gets flagged with this dictionary; primarily (but not exclusively) plurals.

2.0.2 causes random crashes in FF. Do proper QA before releasing a version.

The 2.0.2 version of the dictionary is really screwed up. It's flagging plurals and proper conjugations as spelled wrong. It didn't even have the word "has" in its word list. Cripes! It doesn't even have "its" in the list! Somebody screwed up, bad!

Yup, I screwed up pretty badly on 2.0.2 and corrupted the affix file. I've pulled that version while 2.0.3 is reviewed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank goodness this exists. I can't believe they have South Africa, Australia, etc., but no dictionary for Canada!

If you're going to provide the ability to "Add to Dictionary" then it would be useful to be able to export/import the custom dictionary.
