Hi,

I really llike the idea of this project and am interested in contributing as I need GB English. How would I get started doing this?

As far as I'm aware, the difference is mostly in spelling and vocabulary---not grammar---so it's mostly a dictionary thing. I can't think of any lints that would apply differently off the top of my head. (correct me if I'm wrong)

In that case, it's mostly a matter of making a GB dictionary. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to make it a patch file in order to avoid all the duplication.

I am interested in this as well. Is it possible to pick a different dictionary?

https://github.com/dwyl/english-words/blob/master/uk-us-dict.txt seems to have a decent list of words with different spellings.

I'd also be willing to help if I can have a bit of guidance on a good approach.

I wonder if there's differences in American English dropping the H at the start of the words.

'a herb' vs 'an herb'.

Also happy to chip in with contributions.
