Namely, --- and I haven't looked further then this --- that the '''Y'''s are out of order, and also scattered throughout the dictionary (''throughout'' may be too strong a word here).
:: Later, I found out that there were a lot (well, a significant number) of '''Y''' words mixed in with the '''I''' words. I don't know if there is a systemic reason for this. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 15:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

:Thanks Gerard for the notice. It seems that there are and should be word lists for different applications; some having easier or more specialised words; swearing, slang,...

:: I finished up the merging of the words from the (above) mentioned "GitHub user content" (English dictionary), and it added over '''32,000''' words in "my" dictionary. As the new words were being merged, I noticed a whole she-bang of hyphenated words being added. "My" dictionary now has '''947,359''' words in it. Maybe "words" isn't the correct word to use, "entries" would be a better fit. Thanks again for informing me of that English dictionary. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 15:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
