http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/misspell?view=uk Is anyone watching this bug? I'm going to mark this bug's importance higher since I've literally been laughed at whilst showing off Ubuntu to friends. "The spell-checker doesn't even work! God knows what the rest of it is like!" they teased. Okay, I lie, that didn't happen. They're all very impressed with Ubuntu. But can no one else see a problem here? Even IF this terrible example of spell-checking is limited to the British English dictionary that's still a large user base who's seeing poor quality. If it were not a programming issue, which bug #36227 (et al.) suggests it is, I'd love to fix whatever plain text files are responsible. How would I do this? I've added comments to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=245&atid=100245 (aspell's SourceForge bug tracker [I hate SourceForge's bug tracker.]) and had no response at all. Is there perhaps another spell-checker that can replace aspell? Some kind of drop-in replacement for it? Which is what aspell was supposed to be for ispell, if memory serves me? -- aspell's British English dictionary has spelling mistakes. https://launchpad.net/bugs/18438 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
