That's the thing: it results in inconsistent behavior which is bad. So it would be nice to figure out what the right thing to do is. I don't have much arguments either way, except that as far as I can tell aspell-no and aspell-sv are the only ones to include full-stops in misspelt words and that this got me some confused translators. So I'd be inclined to think they are the ones that should be changed. There may be a similar issue with apostrophes but there things are split a bit more evenly with aspell-no, aspell-sv, aspell-da, aspell-eo, aspell-it, aspell-sl all including them in misspelt words. -- Francois Gouget <fgou...@free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment -- Barry LePatner
