Yes, of course. A quick check for where 'len(word)' appears in tools/check_spelling.py - I think words < 5 characters won't be reported anyway, so some of the ones you mention would be too short.

Words that appear as the name of a dissector/protocol should not be reported (the script checks for proto_register_protocol() calls and adds them to the dict), although the order that files are checked can obviously affect whether or not they have already been loaded.

I see your other email about tools/check_spelling.py next - I was a little hasty in making these checking tools use concurrent.futures - the speedup is amazing though :)
Your help in fixing this would be much appreciated.

Hi Dev Team,

Is it OK to submit an MR for updating tools/wireshark_words.txt file with some words?

For example: gsm, gsmtap, lte, nr, rrc, umts, wcdma?

Regards,
Tamas
