Hello again, Might anyone know where else I can go to find out about the problem I asked about here a few days ago?
In short, is there a simple way for MySpell to remove any final letter from a root before adding a suffix? The following works in that MySpell suggests the correct spelling, but doesn't recognize it (even after I accept the correction it has suggested!) : SFX A . suffix . Is this a bug, or am I using the wrong wildcard, or is there no way to do what I'm looking for?
