After a word with a wordlist/aspell developer it seems this problem could largely be solved by effectively using the various other dictionaries included by aspell-en, such as the variant dictionaries, and also switching to the larger dictionary size (say all the way up to 95).
To understand what I'm talking about, read /usr/share/doc/aspell- en/README.gz . For instance, the word racquet is included in one of the variant dictionaries. -- aspell's British English dictionary has spelling mistakes. https://launchpad.net/bugs/18438 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
