Wow, thanks a lot, to everyone hunting down those errors.
About the description: I'm on it.

Edit:
I'm currently running all 2700 Words through aspell, dict.cc, dictionary.com, wordnet, ninjawords and thefreedictionary.com; this will take about an hour. About one third to one fourth of them fail this test so far.

Another Edit:
Done. The resulting list is here.

Telofy, your list comes up in the top five in a Google search for Grandiloquent Dictionary, so I'd be inclined to leave it as is, since it accurately reflects the coverage of the third printing (2006). If you gather the misspellings in the list description, it might help steer people aright.

I tagged as misspellings the ones with "-phill-" instead of "-phil-". I commented on others that I recognized as misspelled, and other Wordies have since tagged those. It will take several sets of eyes to root out all the misspellings.

Oh, thanks for notifying me; perhaps I can find a way to locate some of those misspellings. I wonder if I should change the list name once the words are different from those in the dictionary...
Thanks again and a grand weekend.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Telofy, I suppose it's a bit late now that you've added all the words, but The Grandiloquent Dictionary is not a particularly reliable source. It contains a number of misspellings, for example, using "-phillia" instead of "-philia" in several words.
