Notice that both GB and ZA have the same .AFF, with just the language changed. My next commit to Gerrit will be in October to give me time to work on the US+CA+AU for 2026. On 1-JAN-2026, it will make one year since I started working on my version of the U.S. dictionary and also adding words for my versions of CA and AU.
