Yes that is why I suggest you use the settings in the official Aspell dictionary package.

You need to be sure to specify the correct language ie "aspell clean strict -l <lang>" the set of warnings should be the same as when compiling the word list, if not you did something wrong. If the language data file is not installed in the expected location you might need to add "--local-data-dir=<path>". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
