I am involved on this project to help mankind and not to profit, but it would be great if, instead of two or three donations per month, there could be more.
Thank you!

***Plural possessive apostrophes not recognised as correct BUG***
A user reported a bug in my GitHub which I confirmed on Firefox 68.0.1.
Plurals followed with an apostrophe appear as a typo.
“The owners’ cars can be parked on the houses’ drives.”
I reported the bug in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1569033
This bug doesn’t happen in Thunderbird.

Software requirements (WebExtension):
Firefox:
— 60.5+ ESR (29-JAN-2019)
— 62+

Thunderbird:
— 60.5+ ESR (29-JAN-2019)
— 65+

Software requirements (Legacy Extension):
If you have Firefox/Thunderbird 59 or below you may try the .xpi which I placed on GitHub:
https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict
Look for the folder:
“Extension – Firefox + Thunderbird + SeaMonkey (GB) (Legacy)”
Click on the “Download” button to download the .xpi. ⚠

To enable, right-click in an editable text area, select “Languages”“English (United Kingdom)”.

Installing/downloading:
To install add-ons, simply search for them from inside Firefox/Thunderbird.
To install manually, using Firefox, right-click on the button “+ Add to Firefox”, select “Save Link As” and install the .xpi file from:
Tools Add-ons Extensions/Dictionaries Install from file.
(see the screenshot above)
You can also drag and drop the .xpi file into the add-ons (Extensions/Dictionaries) window.

Detailed installation/use instructions:
https://proofingtoolgui.org/en_installing.html

FAQ:
https://proofingtoolgui.org/faq.html (read point 4 for issues)

FAQ (“movie”, “automobile”, “airplane”, “hardcover” and “bookstore”):
https://proofingtoolgui.org/faq.html#7
Notice: Due to complaints, “movie” was added on V2.57 since it is a widely used word.

Changelog:

Nightly changes (GitHub):

This GB speller is Mozilla’s official one :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools

About ize/ise:
Just like in other languages, some words can be written differently. Since Oxford says some words are valid both ways, I kept both and the user decides which he prefers. A good example is: “online” and “on-line”.
For ize/ise, both ways are accepted in some words:
— optimize/optimise: https://lexico.com/en/definition/optimize;
— realize/realise: https://lexico.com/en/definition/realize.
Oxford Dictionaries will only refer that certain words accept both ize/ise for Premium accounts.
The regular user won’t know by accessing the Oxford site, but I have access to it.

Places from New Zealand/UK (England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland):
On V2.61–2.64 I included tons of place names.
My scientist friend, Peter McGavin, told me that in NZ they use British, so I decided to do something about it. I did the same for UK. I searched on Wikipedia for “towns”, “counties”, “villages”, “boroughs”, “suburbs”, etc. and based me on:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_in_England;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_in_New_Zealand;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_civil_parishes_in_England;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_civil_parishes_in_Scotland;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_in_Scotland;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_communities_in_Wales;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_in_Wales;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_and_villages_in_Northern_Ireland;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Northern_Ireland;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suburbs_in_New_Zealand;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Church_of_Scotland_parishes.
Also, added places sent to me by Peter C.:
© OpenStreetMap contributors: www.openstreetmap.org/copyright.
© The Clergy of the Church of England Database Project, 2005.

Cities from Australia
On V2.65 I added the cities in Australia by population, since they are in valid English:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Australia_by_population.

Cities from US
On V2.65 I added tons of cities in the US with a 10 000+ population, since they are in valid English.
This list was supplied by Michael Holroyd on Kevin Atkinson’s GitHub.

Cities from Canada
On V2.67 I added the cities in Canada, since they are in valid English:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Canada.

State and union territory capitals in India
On V2.90 I added this list to the dictionary, since they are in valid English:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_state_and_union_territory_capitals_in_India.

Common prescription and OTC drugs
On V2.63 I added tons of drugs names supplied by Andrew Ziem on Kevin Atkinson’s GitHub.
The generic drugs (such as “diphenhydramine”) are in lowercase, while the brand names (such as “Abilify”) are capitalised.

Words regarding COVID-19
On V2.83 I added tons of entries regarding the pandemic.

Main difficulties developing this dictionary:
1) Proper names;
2) Possessive forms;
3) Plurals.

Adding new words:
If you believe to have found a missing/incorrect word, please send it to me for analysis. If it is on the Oxford or Collins dictionaries, I will add it.

Removing US words:
If you find American words, which appear both in Oxford and Collins dictionaries as such with a British correspondence, please send them to me for analysis and removal.

Archaic words:
I will only add archaic words if they don’t interfere with other words.

I developed Proofing Tool GUI (open-source tool) hoping someone would improve the GB speller, but months went by and no one volunteered, so I took the task myself in 2013.

I have created the best up-to-date British speller. It encompasses several fields of knowledge, from simple to complex words.

It doesn’t matter your religion, sex, age or academic background, everyone should have access to all words equally for free.

To make sure the words I add are the correct ones, I have been looking for them in credible sources:
1) Oxford Dictionaries;
2) Collins Dictionary;
3) Macmillan Dictionary;
4) Cambridge Dictionary;
5) Merriam-Webster Dictionary (used with caution ⚠);
6) Wiktionary (used with caution ⚠);
7) Wikipedia (used with caution ⚠);
8) Physical dictionaries.

In January 2015 I purchased an “Oxford Gold Account” to have a higher access in Oxford Dictionaries.

I am also involved on several projects with a specific jargon having added some “special” words.

I am adding the words with copy/paste after checking them in the dictionaries mentioned above. This is slower and harder, but the results are much better and accurate.

On 25.Aug.2013 I released a “forked” V2.00. The speller has been made available to OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey. So far, I have added 110 120+ words (as of V2.90).

This add-on does not work at all. I cannot even find it in my browser. It says that it is installed but it is not in my extension tab. I restarted the Firefox browser but it does not work. In disappointment, I had to download another add-on. Update: Now after the new update for the browser. The add-on is working and it's really good. :)

It's an excellent add-on, and thank you for maintaining it, Marco Pinto.

None of the mozilla extensions and addons from "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/" doesnt a job of being in 2019. Their database are 20 years old where they dont know the word Flipboard which they say is clipboard. SERIOUSLY. None of the english lang or dict works like they are productive friendly for someone working in 21st century where words update daily and social media has changed the words we never thought existed. It doesnt know the word awesomesauce until it is corrected to awesomeness. Most importantly it doesnt detect words from other language that have taken place in English dic like it detects "Laddu or laddoo" as "lad do".

Fabulous, now I can pretty much ditch my Chromium based browser. Firefox has Picture-in-picture (off by default!) and a Spell-checker... Who would have known 😱

skpMania..

This is an essential part of using Firefox, why the hell do Mozilla not just include it in the UK version, it comes with NO ability to spell check, but the US one has the US spell checker which for us in England is rubbish - get a grip Mozilla, and add spell checkers for all nations not just bloody America! Thanks Marco for doing their work for them ;)
