- Well I for one would like to see all the vendors settle on some
- dictionary and stick with that. I'd even pay a reasonable fee to buy
- the standardized dictionary, and would really welcome them using a
- standardized Thesaraus and hypenation dictionary too! My drive is
- cluttered with massive dictionaries from several software vendors, and
- each product requires me to put all my "exceptions" into a seperate file
- too. I would like to see all the vendors start using the dictionary
- manager to manage dictionaries, and a format should be agreed upon for
- the dictionaries...then a vendor could bundle a better dictionary if they
- wanted, and user's wouldn't need 10 dictionaries but could pick the one
- that suited them best.

- PS Iam not too concerned about how big a dictionary a particular vendor
- bundles with an application, and I'll bet it's not a big selling point to
- must people.
