Last night all Thunderbird add-ons on ATN were automatic migrated to WebExtension format.
Mine was already a WebExtension, uploaded with the help of an administrator, and became damaged (corrupted).
Now I have reuploaded it as 2.70.1.

V2.64 - 1-SEP-2018
---------------------------
- 14 713 new words.
Added tons of UK names of places plus their possessives.
I know I have spent around four months adding the places names with copy/paste, but since the "databases" were huge, I automatised the process.
It is possible that now near 100% of the UK (at least England) places names are in the speller.

Added tons of names of places plus their possessives.
It is WIP (Work in Progress) since Peter C. sent me a list of English parishes containing around 9000 names.
It will take months to have them added since I am NOT doing it automatically for more accuracy.

Places from England/New Zealand:
On V2.61 I included tons of towns.
My scientist friend, Peter McGavin, told me that in NZ they use British, so I decided to do something about it. I did the same for UK. I searched on Wikipedia for "towns", "counties", "villages", etc. and based myself also on:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_in_England
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_towns_in_New_Zealand
For a more accurate work I should check which towns are already in with the possessives missing. It is in my TO-DO list.
