Hi, I find for some words aspell makes uncharacteristically bad
suggestions.
I typed "decipehr". The top 20 suggestions (alphabetically):
Cipro
Desirae
Desiree
Desiri
Diaspora
dapperer
desire
despair
despairs
despise
despite
despoiler
despot
diaspora
disappear
disciple
dispel
drapery
sprier
tempera
I think "decipher" , a one-character transposition (edit distance
of 1) should be a better suggestion than any of these 20, but at
least in the top 10. "Decipjer" has the same problem.
For comparison, ispell's first and only suggestion for both of
these typos is "decipher". Aspell rocks for bad spellers at the
expense of bad typists?
For some typos like "decioher" and "decopher", aspell suggests
perfectly. Is it an issue of an incomplete keyboard definition?
'h' and 'j' are right next to each other, but regardless,
replacements by letters not next to each other should be offered
as suggestions anyway.
