Of course - sharing the project dictionary on a sharepoint, wiki, etc., is absolutely the way to go, if one can convince the colleagues to use it (in some places, there still seems to be a strong preference for doing everything via email, which is a shame) The American vs. British English remark is gold - that one can eat a LOT of time when not defined beforehand. Arjan, thanks for the comment.

Using a project dictionary (with spelling examples) is a great one. But why send it around and not share it on a teamsite or internal wiki? Then you can be sure to always have the updated version. Then there is the choice between "American English" and "English English". Especially for those not from either country, always difficult. Be sure to a) take the decision which way to go (for which the preference of the client could be a great guidance); and b) use a dictionary to be sure. And don't let the decision be taken by Americans or Brits, unless you are working for an American or British client. Nice piece. Using a project dictionary (with spelling examples) is a great one.
