International English wordlist (DOS format) A list of 109582 English words compiled and corrected in 1991 from lists obtained from the Interociter bulletin board. The original read.me file said that the list came from Public Brand Software. This word list includes inflected forms, such as plural nouns and the -s, -ed and -ing forms of verbs. Thus the number of lexical stems represented in the list is considerably smaller than the total number of words. Homophones (comma-delimited database format) The list of American English homophones is based on the book _Handbook of Homophones_ by William Cameron Townsend, 1975. Each set of homophones is on a single line separated by commas.
