As for me, I'd just add them to the dictionary and don't worry about them appearing in normal text, and even if they were, I don't see a typo like that really having a negative effect to speak of. But yes, it might be a small annoyance now that you mention it. > But I cannot stop thinking that I cannot be the only > guy with this "problem", and the solution doesn't > strike me as particularly complicated for the > benefit that you have.

Perhaps you can report it as a bug (report it as a suggestion which is the same thing) and see if the ispell people like the idea. Maybe they can use a separate file for such combinations, to be preprocessed, if it would imply a performance penalty to have it in the normal wordlist. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
