Request: Add these words to the English Dictionary in next release of Hunspell #40

Open phargarten2 opened 5 years ago

Greetings! I was using the spelling package, and I found that the following words are not in the Hunspell dictionary, but are found in Merriam-Webster's. Although I can add them using the dictionary() function, I believe they would only be added to the dictionary on my computer. Could you add these in the next release of hunspell?

These are actual English Words: midrange Midrange nonresponse quartile reproducibility variates vectorize vectorized

Additionally, I write "et" and "al" frequently when I am citing work in my R packages. Thinking these are common for other users, I am asking for the request to be entered into the English dictionary.

Lastly, please include these people in the dictionary as they are common statisticians that people may cite. Wilcoxon Zellner Zellner's
