British English spellchecker views some abbreviations as mistakes

marek-lach opened this issue · comments

In the British English spellchecker, abbreviated words like won’t, doesn’t, can’t are being higlighted, as if they were incorrect spelling.

This is not a problem in the US English dictionary.

This is typically an issue for the dictionary rather than hunspell itself. You'll have to chase down where your dictionary is coming from, there's a few en_GB versions out there. My one from fedora (hunspell-en-GB-0.20140811) doesn't seem to suffer from this problem.
