Hi

Correct would be "fiancé" (male) or "fiancée" (female)  and not
fiancee or fianceé as written above.

Having said that, I see that the English spelling
checker proposes the incorrect suggestion *fiancee* for
the correct word "fiancée". So there is a bug indeed.

Bug happens with the en-US checker only. The en-GB checker is fine.
