True at present, unfortunately. But in principle, an option could be
programmed, to make aspell accept "drop-down" when the dictionary contains
"drop" and "down". The only manual additions to the dictionary would then be
words like "hotch-potch", because "hotch" and "potch" are not in the
dictionary.
I think such an option would be generally useful, at least for English, and
incidentally would make aspell behave more like the MS-Word spell-checker.
I made such a modification a few years ago, and it worked to my own
satisfaction, but the code changes would require to be examined by someone
fully conversant with the workings of aspell before it could be considered
safe.
Hi,
Aspell is now on GitHub if you care to submit a pull request.
https://github.com/gnuaspell/aspell.
The other problem is the current dictionary does not have support for
hyphenated words. The words are in the source lists, but they get filtered.
