Looking to why I get different results, perhaps this can help you debug:

Description: American English dictionary words for /usr/share/dict
This package provides the file /usr/share/dict/american-english
containing a list of English words with American spellings.
This list can be used by spelling checkers, and by programs such
as look(1).
.
There are also -small and -large versions of this wordlist,
and there are wbritish* and wcanadian* packages as well.
I can't remember installing wamerican manually... I would never have
done it just for "look."
Regards,
Ralph
