And I'm very happy with this change because hunspell handles hyphenated
compounds.

About the problem Jürgen Spitzmüller is complaining, I really don't see the
problem. The spellchecker usually holds all nouns (proper or not) that are
common in a language.

Guillaume is a common name in France, but it is not in Brazil, for
example. So it is natural if a portuguese spellchecker mark this name as
wrong. Acronyms and some company names are naturally always marked as wrong,
specially because they need to be double checked. If that word is important,
you must include it on your personal dictionary. Even the MS Word
spellchecker (that is currently the most mature spellchecker IMO), you
experience very same behavior (actually, it ignore capitalized words by
default, but this can be changed).

Therefore, I am against the idea of "if a word begins with an uppercase
letter, treat it as correct". This is wrong, and I'm almost sure this is not
desired in any language.


BTW, in your example you mispelled "LyX": the last X must be uppercase, you
typed "Lyx" instead.
Using the suggested spelling, the word is marked as correct (at least when
using the english dictionary). ;-)
