Hi everyone, I've been tinkering with a MySpell version for a language for which there is no ispell version, so I'm basically starting from scratch. Things have been going well so far, but I've encountered something odd.
I wanted to account for a suffix that can be added to any word, though the last letter of the root has to be removed first. Not knowing exactly how the spellchecking algorithm works or what the rules for the affix file are, I figured I'd try using the * wildcard twice: SFX A * suffix * Here's the problem: this works, but MySpell (running in OpenOffice1.1.3 in Solaris) doesn't realize it works. If I spellcheck the new word form (spelled correctly), MySpell flags it as unknown, yet its suggested replacement is exactly the same word, spelled the same way. If MySpell is suggesting the same spelling as the tested word, why is the tested word being flagged as unknown?
