DICTIONARY

The dictionary command is used to modify and examine the builtin dictionaries. The builtin dictionaries are used by the rspell, ospell, and mspell commands to spell-check areas.

There are three separate dictionaries:

standard   This is a builtin dictionary that cannot be modified.
custom     This dictionary contains mud-specific words and can be
           modified by adept-level checkers who can remove words from this
           dictionary and promote words from the pending dictionary
           into this one.
pending    This dictionary contains candidate words for the custom
           dictionary.  Any builder can add and remove words from this
           dictionary but only adept-level checkers can promote words
           from this dictionary into the custom dictionary.

The add command will add a new word to the pending dictionary. The promote command will move a word in the pending dictionary to the custom dictionary (promote is only available to adept-level checkers). The remove command can be used by any builder to remove words from the pending dictionary or by adept-level checkers to also remove words from the custom dictionary.
Note: When using the "add" command, CASE MATTERS. For example, if you are adding a proper noun to the dictionary, be sure to use the proper casing.

PLEASE VERIFY THAT ANY WORDS THAT ARE PROMOTED ARE SPELLED CORRECTLY.

Finally, the list command can be used to query the contents of one of the online dictionaries. For example,

dictionary list pending he

The preceding command will list all words beginning with the letters "he" in the pending dictionary.
