Package: hunspell-en-us Version: 1:2019.10.06-1 Severity: minor For an embarassingly long time I was wondering why aspell/ispell/hunspell wouldn't handle correctly anything basic with apostrophes, such as "isn't".
Turns out I read the explaination, by random chance, here: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InteractiveSpell#toc16 It seems that /usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff already has the ICONV rules, but doesn't include "'’" in WORDCHARS. I can confirm that those to WORDCHARS makes hunspell actually behave as intended. Shouldn't this be the default for all english dictionaries? (note that while the URL mentions emacs, this does affect the basic hunspell cli as well)
