@biljir have anything to say about these?

[biljir]

Words from this list I find worthy of consideration (plus inflections unless otherwise mentioned):

Aquarian dognapper unshockable speargun geckoes (alternate plural) workperson (I've only encountered the word in the singular and possessive - I don't know whether workpersons or workpeople is the preferred plural) underappreciated tachyon

Marco,

If you don't mind me asking, what is your methodology for coming up with these lists of words, especially the proper names? You seem to have an endless supply of them!

@biljir

It is easy: When I paste text from sites or other sources into Thunderbird using my en_GB in order to see the missing words, I then search for the words in the site of the Oxford Dictionaries.

Every time a word is shown as valid in Oxford I copy/paste the whole examples into Thunderbird and see the derivations to add to en_GB. Then, I also find other missing words and do the same (a loop). Some times I look for derived words in Wiktionary: outdate + outdates + outdated + outdating since Oxford doesn't have the whole examples, after making sure it is valid in Oxford.

Also, when Oxford Dictionaries find a valid word, they suggest words on the right of the browser and I select them and do the previous procedure (an endless loop).

When I am unable to find words in Oxford, I try other dictionaries, mainly Collins and as a last resource Wiktionary.

About the names, the problem is that Oxford doesn't show the possessive forms, so I usually search for them in Wikipedia and see the number of matches. If there are enough matches I also search there for the possessive form. If all goes well I add them to en_GB.

Consider also spellchecking official pages and such as we can find lots of proper names. The other day I was looking at Star Wars Wikipedia pages and I found tons of valid names.

I have also created a page for the project: http://marcoagpinto.cidadevirtual.pt/proofingtoolgui.html

I don't mention this in the project page but I bought an Oxford Gold Account a year ago just to help improve en_GB. This way I have access to the whole examples and can find even more missing words.

Does this answer your question? :-)

Thanks Alan, I added all your suggestions except workperson.
