Does anyone know of a link to a reference on the web that contains a sample English dictionary word script, that can be used to populate a dictionary table in SQL Server?

I can handle a .txt or .csv file, or something similar.

Alternatively, I'm adding custom spellchecking functionality to my web apps...but I don't want to integrate the standard components. If there are good references (with samples) on building a dictionary word checker, I'd love that too!

I actually asked for the wrong thing, but I like the answer so far. I really wanted a English word list for a spell checking application, that I can use to populate a table in SQL Server.

Here is one that I finally found, that is ok: English Word List
This one is even better: Another English Word List

One dictionary you could use is the wordnet dictionary available from http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/download/
