[messaging] Word list for English Words

[Michael Rogers]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

The random poem generator uses the Basic English word list:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Basic_English_word_list

The list contains 850 words, generally shorter and simpler than the
PGP words, but not chosen for phonetic distinctness.

Cheers,
Michael
