FreeBSD Maintenance Notes --------------------------------------------- Note that FreeBSD is not maintaining a historical document, we're maintaining a list of current [American] English spellings. A few words have been removed because their spellings have depreciated. This list of words includes: corelation (and its derivatives) -- "correlation" is the preferred spelling -- A list of technical terms has been added in the file 'freebsd'. This word list contains FreeBSD/Unix lexicon that is used by the system documentation. It makes a great ispell(1) personal dictionary to supplement the standard English language dictionary.
