[Aspell-user] `Offencive' Wrongly Exists in British English Dictionary.

[Ralph Corderoy]

Hi,

Running aspell-0.33.7-1 with the British English dictionary I find it
doesn't have the word `offensive', instead suggesting `offencive'.  The
former is the correct British English spelling, the latter doesn't exist
in _Collins English Dictionary_, not even as an American spelling.

(Note, `offence' is the correct British English spelling.)

I've checked the online Aspell dictionaries using
http://aspell.net/suggest/ and that gives the same results as
aspell-0.33.7-1.

I realise that aspell's maintainers aren't responsible for the
dictionaries, but have found it difficult to find out where exactly to
report this fault and would appreciate it if someone could point me in
the right direction.

Thanks,


Ralph.
