Hello. I reported Emacs bug#42248 and I and the Emacs developers realized at least part of the problem is with Guix version of Enchant.
On an updated Debian bullseye, enchant 2.2.8 from Guix misreports numerals. The same enchant upstream version, when installed from APT, does not have this problem. Guix enchant 2.2.8 on Debian buster also misreports numerals. See (on Debian bullseye): $ enchant-2 -v @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Enchant 2.2.8) $ which enchant-2 /usr/bin/enchant-2 $ enchant-2 -l -d en_US /tmp/enchant-test.txt Doesn Amarelou $ guix install enchant; hash enchant-2 [...] $ enchant-2 -v @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Enchant 2.2.8) $ which enchant-2 /home/jorge/.guix-profile/bin/enchant-2 $ enchant-2 -l -d en_US /tmp/enchant-test.txt 2015 Casa 42 Amarelou 2018 The file /tmp/enchant-test.txt: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Doesn't 2015 Casa 42 Amarelou 2018 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So enchant 2.2.8 (either from APT or from Guix) does not understand "doesn't"; and, what's worse, enchant-2.2.8 from Guix reports every numeral as a misspelling.
