Hi,
I want to do some analysis of words in the English language. 
There must be a word list somewhere on PCs (I'm using Windows
XP) that I can tap into.  There are various programs that use 
spell-check so there must be a common resource.

Where is it and what's it called???

(Also, I notice that spell-check lets you "add" new words, but is there a way to delete bad words?)

Thanks,
Nick
