See: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjbPi00k_ME > > ispell-program-name => "ispell" > > ispell-current-dictionary => "american" Using the American English dictionary for spell-checking that language is hardly useful. You need to install a dictionary for the language and the use "M-x ispell-change-dictionary" to switch to that dictionary. Only after that the use of ispell-buffer can be expected to produce useful results. > I would say that ispell has a bug that is so big that you cannot see that it is a bug! Should we call such a bug > a > 'continental bug'? It's a known limitation of Ispell the program. That program is obsolete for many years, for that reason. I suggest to install Hunspell or Aspell, together with the dictionary for that language, and then Emacs will be able to spell-check this text.
