Use a larger dictionary about cspell HOT 7 CLOSED

Looking at the commits in the other repo, it looks like this has been implemented?
Looks like a SCOWL size of 70 is a better fit than 60 or 80.

The challenge is to find one. The dictionary used by cspell is located here. Which is based upon this dictionary: SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists).
I added hundreds of words already. But feel free to add more.

Perhaps the scowl size could be increased to size 80?

Doing so would increase the size to 3.5MB

Here is a good reference for various dictionaries:

The readme here has a nice useful summary of good dictionaries to look into:

Though I installed the VS Code extension and there are still many false positives:
These fail as unknown (not false positives in the Mozilla dictionary for instance)

• prepend
• theming

Also ran into issues where two words are combined that cannot be cased differently:

• webpack
• devtool
• truetype
• papayawhip (CSS color)

Language Specific:

• stringify (JavaScript)
