228 followers · 2022 posts · Server fashionsocial.hostI fixed it! I disabled Flyspell and removed iSpell/Hunspell. Instead, I'm using Jinx. It seems to be really, really good. I enabled three dictionaries automatically (en_GB, en_US, fr) and it works beautifully. I'm not sure why "I've" is underlined with flyspell "british", but it isn't with Jinx at all.
Glad to have all that fixed up right. 🙃

I had Jinx, Hunspell, and Flyspell going off at the same time. For some reason, "I've" is "incorrect" in the British dictionary? I just took out Jinx and Flyspell (disabled it) completely and I'm just using Hunspell for now. We'll see if that works. I have 3 dictionaries on it: en_US, en_GB, fr (for French).

decent (DEE-sent): proper, respectable, kind
descent (de-SENT) the act of going downward
dissent (dis-SENT): disagreement
Note the tiny spelling difference between "decent" and "descent". (And the tiny, perhaps even nonexistent, pronunciation difference between descent and dissent.)
Example:
I think Poe's "Descent into the Maelstrom" was a pretty decent story, but my friend dissents.

797 followers · 7541 posts · Server mas.toA weird thing has happened on #OfficeLibre when #editing some text.
I put the file on a flash drive to transfer to another computer to #print.
So I'm making corrections to the printed copy and checking #spelling and I come across some spelling errors.
One is 'their' spelt as 'theyr' - which is weird because #spellcheck would have picked that up.
Anyway, when I went to the original file to edit and the spelling mistake isn't there. The word was spelt correctly.
Weird, no?

Don't #Australian people spell Labour as Labor?
So why's the TV show Neighbours spelt with the O - U - R ending?
