--- Comment #8 from Aron Budea <ba...@caesar.elte.hu> ---
I passed on bug 98098 (about the thesaurus) to the US/CA English dictionary
maintainer, and learned that they have some limitations, as they were created
for spell checking in a way described here:
https://github.com/kevina/wordlist/issues/154#issuecomment-220219093
I'm guessing the thesaurus expects the dictionary to find the stem it can base
its suggestions on (guessing, as I've got no prior knowledge on the topic), but
those dictionaries are built to produce an accepted list of words with a
simpler set of affixes, and thus sometimes won't produce the correct stem.
How big of an issue is this? (I have no idea how many words and different forms
are affected)
As a user I would find it a bit irritating to have some buggy suggestions, but
probably wouldn't care too much, a spell checker that is kept up to date is
more important in everyday use.
At the same time, it's important to know what can, and can't be expected from a
dictionary like that.
Any thoughts on how seriously this should be taken?
If this raises no objections, I'd like to push the updated dictionaries so
they're shipped with LO 5.2.
