Okay, looks like there is something bogus in my personal dictionary. I
removed the customization altogether (which caused the contraction
problem to go away), saved a few words to my personal dictionary, and
that created the file ~/.hunspell_en_US.
Then I restarted, set `ispell-personal-dictionary' to a non-existent
file, restarted, and saved some more words. They went into the new file,
but interestingly ~/.hunspell_en_US was still honored. I've _never_
understood the interaction between all the various options here, so this
was good information. I guess there's no need to set
`ispell-personal-dictionary' at all, unless I want to keep the
dictionary in a git repo or something.
I'll figure out what's wrong with my old dictionary. It's got Chinese
and Arabic in it (and I note is saved as UTF-8 whereas ~/.hunspell_en_US
is ASCII) so maybe that has something to do with it. I tried
spellchecking a Chinese word and hunspell just errored, so there's no
point putting Chinese in there to begin with.
Anyway... thanks for walking me through this.
