The en_US dictionary contains "etc", which is incorrect.

Oh dear, after further investigation this turns out to be because Debian
overrides ispell.el and flyspell.el with its own patched versions, which
predate Emacs 24.4 (they are from 2013).
In what follows, I have moved these patched files aside, and am definitely
working with just Emacs 24.4's versions!
Now, still using hunspell, and having removed "i.e", "e.g" and "etc" from
my en_GB spelling list, I get exactly the same highlighting.

I don't want to override it, it's fine.
When I mention OTHERCHARS, I am looking at the documentation for
ispell-dictionary-alist. Indeed, when I change language, and I am using
hunspell, the language definitions seem to be auto-generated. With
hunspell, OTHERCHARS is set to include ".". But indeed, removing it or
moving it into CASECHARS and NOT-CASECHARS still seems not to help, so I'm
back to my original workaround.
But indeed, apart from when I specifically mentioned customising the
dictionary, I am working with Emacs's default values, not customised at all.
Thanks very much for your help with this.
