Proposal Open Office Roman Dictionary ? - Chance1234 - 04-18-2007
I'm currently typing up some ramblings for my website and getting really fed up with the spell checker highlighting every other word (Germanicus, Germanians for example)
I hope this is the right place to post, but was thinking if we could pull together a list of Roman and Greek words we could save these down to a file and use it as a custom dictionary in open office.

that would almost copying a Greek and latin dictionary!
hock: i understand waht you mean but that would be a lot of work!
Re: Proposal Open Office Roman Dictionary ? - Chance1234 - 04-18-2007
Well i think you could narrow it down a fair bit such as
Names of places
Names of People
Military Terms
etc etc
and yeap it would be a lot of work! but isnt that one of the great things of the internet ?

Hi Chance,
Sounds like a useful idea for classicists. One wonders if there's really nothing like that available already.

That'll work, but we can host it right here on Romanarmy.com too. I could give you and whoever wanted to cooperate rights to add/edit/publish stuff on the site.

I do grow tired of Open Office getting upset with me when ever I type up anything Roman. This would be a great thing to have.

I think this is a good idea. I was copy-editing something on fortifications the other day and my pc kept trying to change castrae to castrate, which completely ruined the meaning!
Re: Proposal Open Office Roman Dictionary ? - Chance1234 - 07-24-2007
Im ready to go with the microsoft word version of this, however i could really do with a few more topic lists, any help would be much appreciated.
