I am having some problems finding a Hunspell spell checker that can handle smart (or curly) quotes in words such as wouldn’t, couldn’t, etc.
I noticed that many Hunspell spell checkers don’t work properly with them, so I investigated a bit and found that the ICONV command can be used in the .aff file to make this possible. The ‘LibreOffice American British Canadian - spelling/hyphen/thesaurus dictionaries’ (available here: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/american-british-canadian-spelling-hyphen-thesaurus-dictionaries/releases/3.0) makes use of the ICONV command, and seems to work with curly quote sin words. However, I also noticed that the list contains a lot of incorrect words, such as ‘wouldn’, and ‘couldn’. Who should I ask this question to? Is anyone here in charge of these dictionaries?
