Hey, I became aware of this bug because of:

-
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/135kn9j/is_the_autocorrection_tool_of_many_languages/

I gave some very detailed AutoCorrect/Spellcheck/Grammarcheck responses in
cipricus's Reddit thread, but I'll try to summarize a little of it here.

(Please see the link above for *much* more specifics.)

Yes, I agree.

Typo Correction is split into 3 layers:

- AutoCorrect
- Spellchecking/Dictionaries
- Grammarchecking

LibreOffice's AutoCorrect should focus on:

- invalid words + common typos
--- alot -> a lot
--- becasue -> because
--- cheif -> chief
--- commitee -> committee

while Spellchecking/Dictionaries should focus on:

- valid words
--- (Red squigglies + Right-Click suggestions!)
--- I made a *misteak*. (misteak -> mistake) 

while Grammarchecking should focus on:

- valid words, but used in the wrong context
--- (Green squigglies!)
--- I stood in line for an *our*. (our -> hour)
--- I *runs* away from the dog. (runs -> run/ran)

One valid word to another valid word—like "ouă" vs. "oua"—shouldn't be in the
AutoCorrect category!

An error like that should be taken care of at the Grammarchecking-level with
green squigglies.

(Luckily, LanguageTool supports Romanian! :) )

cipricus: Now, we just sit and patiently wait.

Like Julien + BogdanB said, we wait for input from more knowledgeable
localizers.

We heard the recommendations, and I have no doubt Romanian AutoCorrect will be
made better based on your suggestions. :)

(Take a deep breath, and a deep breath out. Nobody here wants to "argue with"
or "antagonize" you. We just want to all help make LO become better! :) )

And it's only been 3 days. People have real lives outside of LibreOffice you
know!!! lol.
