That's really nice but kind of annoying I couldn't import the downloaded raw english word list into office. It gave me an error that it isn't unicode so I had to convert it.

If anyone else is trying the easiest option is open your custom.dic in \users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof\ and copy paste in in something like notepad++ that handles encoding properly.

I also marked lines with '(', ',', and ' ' to really trim this down to something reasonable due to the amount of duplication (104004 lines with an missing drug I added but don't want to shill for). I don't need 100+ variations on cataracts of types of macular degeneration for spell checking purposes.
