Download an English dictionary

Question

Hello,

I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of a English dictionary download (free).

I do NOT want:

1. Spelling check dictionaries
2. Links to websites that don't provide me with an actual dictionary
3. Dictionaries in some weird format

I want something like a notepad or SQL script that has the following simple format:

Hate
Hated
Hates
Hateful
etc...

In case you are wondering - I am going to create an acronym creator :)

Cheers! Dan.

UK english or US english? :-) What you might want to look for are Scrabble word lists -- either TWL (Tournament Word List) for US or SOWPODS for rest-of-the-world word lists. You can obtain both here.
