Well, I am not a program, but I often use /usr/share/dict/words
(I have not yet been able to train my fingers not to look for
/usr/dict/words) directly, and also as test data for code snippets i
write.
We should not change out aspects of the system that users have
come to depend on, if it can be helped.
