Most surprising for me was that MacOS is using a word list from GNU (and/or
BSD). They should have a better one they can drop in after all these years.

They're the ones who've been selling machines to professional writers to do
"word processing". We're the guys who couldn't spell "creat". We just have a
word list so we can cheat at crossword puzzles with grep. We don't know what
word processing is, but we're sure it's a subset of what vi and emacs do.

And they're trusting our word list? It should be the other way around.
