Harry - I think in the UK the extra "e" is correct, but "judgment" is the correct spelling in the US. This is really the only word giving us trouble (our content is law-related), and I have some simple logic in place to check and provide the correct suggestion, but I thought there might be a better way. Thank you for this info!

Judgement is spelled correctly... It looks like the double-metaphones may be giving more weight to the suggestions than you'd want in this case. The word distances and Levenshtein distances are higher for the suggestions than for judgment. I don't know of a way around this sort of thing. I've run across words from time to time where the suggestions aren't what I'd expect or not available. In my test dictionary, taking the other words out so that judgement was the only word in the dictionary still didn't correct judgment to judgement. I think this is a word where you'll have to have other logic that can catch this specific misspelling (before using the dictionary to check spelling, look at another list and see if the word is there). This should be able to be done in a performant way. In fact, regular expressions run extremely fast and you could have a list of words you come across like this that need forced suggestions. spell:double-metaphone("judgment") => jtkmnt atkmnt spell:double-metaphone("judgement") => jjmnt ajmnt spell:double-metaphone("augment") => akmnt spell:double-metaphone("oddment") => akmnt spell:double-metaphone("element") => almnt On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 12:55 PM, Will Thompson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Is there a way to force different behavior of spell:suggest()?
