The problem is that when Aspell "saves" a personal word list it doesn't really "save" it. Instead it merges the in-memory word list with the one saved to disk. That is before saving it reread the on-disk word list and than add any new words found to the in-memory word list. I do this avoid the problem of multiple Aspell processes, running at the same time, clobbering each others changes. This means that deleting a word from on in-memory word list will have no effect if word is also in the on-disk word list. A truly correct solution to this problem will be rather complicated. I am willing to accept a simpler, yet not 100% correct, solution but I have not got around to implementing it. -- http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
