            Bug ID: 106916
           Summary: Improve suggestions for misspelled abbreviations:
                    don't completely ignore SentenceExceptList.xml for
                    misspelled abbreviations
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Linguistic
          Assignee: [email protected]

Abbreviations are placed in dictionaries with dot. So LO will suggest
'anthrop.' for 'anthrop' if somebody forget to put dot at the end.

Problem is if somebody misspell actual abbreviation: 'anhtrop.' instead
'anthrop.' (ht instead th). Now LO will not recognize this as abbreviation and
will not suggest 'anthrop.' at all and first letter of next word is
autocorrected to uppercase.

Abbreviations are placed in SentenceExceptList.xml and LO is checking against
that list but that works only if everything is spelled correctly.

Think that LO should compare misspelled words followed by dots with
SentenceExceptList.xml file and if misspelled word is at distance level 1 from
abbreviation in that list, correct abbreviation should be suggested and if user
accepts that suggestion, capitalization of next word should be autocorrected
accordingly:

Now:

anhtrop. <word> -> anthrop. <Word> [anthrop. not suggested]

Desired:

anhtrop. <word> -> anthrop. <Word> [suggestion 'anthrop.'] (if accepted) ->
anthrop. <word>
