56mb is still bloody enormous for a dictionary.

assuming that on average, there are 20 words per line in a book, and 65 lines per page, where each word is on average 5 characters long, then one page in a book takes up 6500 bytes. by my calculations, if the dictionary released by microsoft were made into a book, it would be 8615 pages long.

and mind you, i pick some rather large numbers for these calculations.

That’s really terrible. You’d think they would have a setup whereby they could incrementally add new words to the dictionary without adding the whole dictionary again.

I mean, if I had to download every single virus signature known to man whenever “one” new virus signature was available - my bandwidth limit would certainly be hitting the roof.

I use Microsoft because it came with my computer, and I always read what the updates are for. This is one I did not bother install.
