Since SCOWL was forked in David Bartlett version, it has undergone numerous corrections and should now be fairly accurate. David Bartlett's en_GB dictionary includes both -ize and -ise forms, while with SCOWL it is possible to get one with just the -ise forms, it is also possible to have the option of including common variants or leaving them out to promote consistent spelling. Furthermore, SCOWL
is also a bit more up-to-date and includes words such as "blog" and "Google" (which where not in R 1.18). However, the SCOWL version still likely includes some American only words and misses some British only words, and it includes some words such as "alright" which David Bartlett made a point to leave out. Also David Bartlett version includes hyphenated words while SCOWL does not yet.
