Hi
While using Language Tool on my wife's book, I noticed that all
words where she used the foreign version with an accent mark
were marked as spelling errors.
fiancé, fiancee, or fianceé was once case
Hi
Correct would be "fiancé" (male) or "fiancée" (female) and not
fiancee or fianceé as written above.
I cut and pasted that from yahoo answers so considering the source, it
being wrong doesn't surprise me. :)
My wife's spelling came from MS-Word. I just checked and it auto-corrected
to Fiancé.
Another one from my wife's book is "auld lang syne". No surprise that
each word is considered a spelling error. Can the phrase be accepted before
checking individual words?
And my favorite suggestion was "the saw" for "he saw". This was the
sentence:
"But there was a fire burning inside him ever since he saw those
pictures on her camera."
I don't know if fire burning implies wood which implies you need the saw. :)
I just thought is was a funny suggestion. I have no idea if that is even
worth
considering except as an amusing example of not trusting computers.
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.
Great!
I noticed you all were a GSOC project. Has anyone attended the mentor
summit in the past? I was surprised to trip across your project and not
have noticed it in GSOC before. RTEMS has done the past 5 years.
Thank you very much!
