Hi
For non-english text, hyphen-used-as-minus-sign produces quite a lot of
false positives. For example "má-li" or "Není-li" is correct Czech, but
it triggers hyphen-used-as-minus-sign. There are a lot of more of such
words. It seems to be caused by non-ascii character before -.
I tried to debug it on manpages-cs and try to find best regexp to catch
common mistakes and still not catching Czech words. I'm not sure if it
is ready to be merged, but for me it produces much better results. You
will find patch for my change attached.
