Answer 1

I did research for Purdue on controlled / natural english and language domain knowledge processing.

I would take a look at the attempto project: http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/description/ which is a project to help build a controlled natural english.

You can download their entire word lexicon at: http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/downloads/files/clex-6.0-080806.zip it has ~ 100,000 natural English words.

You can also supply your own lexicon for domain specific words, this is what we did in our research. They offer webservices to parse and format natural english text.
