Dict: Unneeded

[sebweb3r]

I'm not sure about this one.

Cambridge doesn't accept unneeded
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/spellcheck/english/?q=unneeded
However aspell does

Whats the opinion of our natives @lurch @peternewman

[lurch]

It does sound a bit odd. I think I'd suggest unneeded->unnecessary, not needed, ?

[peternewman]

The GB large aspell has it too:
http://app.aspell.net/lookup?dict=en_GB-large;words=unneeded

It's in Collins too:
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/unneeded

So I think it's a usage/style issue at best.

[sebweb3r]

So how to proceed?
Put it in informal or usage? Or close the PR?

[peternewman]

Another suggestion for the original

[peternewman]

Suggest unheeded too

Up to you, informal would be the right choice if at all I think, usage was the wrong one. I'm not convinced how informal it is personally.

I did just find one improvement to the existing entries though...

I will put it in my local dictionary. I created a new MR for your suggestion to not flood the git history.

Fair enough, thanks for that.

I didn't realise a PR could close another!
