Description aardvark12 2009-05-03 00:31:46 UTC 
Submit new autocorrect dat file: acor_en_US.dat

I have submitted issue #92383, a replacement for en_US.dic, which has a 63,000
word difference from the original Open Office spell checker. However, Hunspell
won't handle hyphenated words, so I have place all hyphenated words in
autocorrect. Now "broadminded" yields "broad-minded," "selfcontrol" yields
"self-control," and "razzle dazzle" yields "razzle-dazzle." I also corrected
grammar errors, so "for awhile" is replaced by "for a while." I would like to
upload the autocorrect file acor_en_US.dat, to serve as an enhancement to the
spelling dictionary, in particular to allow my own submitted spelling dictionary
to handle hyphenated words. See my full discussion of this at issue #92383.

newest  en_US dictionary, autocorrect: work together
Comment 3 aardvark12 2009-05-07 01:12:24 UTC 
I have uploaded the complete package, the en_US.dic and acor_en-US.dat
(autocorrect) which work together to not only spell check, but to provide for
hyphenated words. Both of these are the newest versions available as of today,
May 6, 2009.

The autocorrect word list was expanded to handle many more compound words.
