MapSpeller™ Danger Dictionaries: |

What
Are Danger dictionaries? Danger dictionaries enable the MapSpeller spell-checker to warn users when correctly spelled words that do not typically appear on maps are present. Those words are often embarrassing substitutions for other words. Such substitutions include sight for site, and worm for warm.
MapSpeller Danger Dictionaries Provided MapSpeller uses danger dictionaries to keep track of potentially unwanted words. There is one danger dictionary associated with each language or language variant, and one for the "None" language option. Examples of such file names include Danger_English (USA).dic and Danger_None.dic. When a user account is created, or the first time a language is used, the MapSpeller master danger dictionaries are copied from the MapSpeller Program Data directory into that user's Windows profile. The user version is the version that MapSpeller uses when spell checking. The use of danger dictionaries is controlled from the MapSpeller Dictionaries tab in the Options dialog. The danger dictionaries provided with MapSpeller are very small. The Danger_None.dic dictionary is actually empty.
Location of Danger Dictionary Files The default location of danger dictionaries for a user with a "XYZ" Windows login name is:
To see these folders in Windows Explorer, the latter should be set to show hidden files. Populating Danger Dictionaries The MapSpeller interface doesn't provide a way of populating danger dictionaries. However, doing so is easy with the Windows Notepad program (Do NOT use any other word processor or program). MapSpeller danger dictionaries are plain ASCII files.
As illustrated above, the first line may contain the dictionary language identifier (#LID 24941 for US English, for example). It is optional and shouldn't be changed. To add a new danger word, add the word on an empty line, follow it by a TAB, then the letter c. This action code letter should be directly followed by the suggested word to be offered in the Potential Error dialog. Make sure that the line at the bottom of the dictionary is a blank line; if not, add it. For optimum processing speed, danger words should be listed in alphabetical order with uppercase letters taking precedence over lowercase ones. Dictionaries are case-sensitive. To Stop Flagging a Danger Word If you no longer want to be asked for the default substitution each time MapSpeller encounters the danger word, delete its line from the danger dictionary with Notepad. |
