21.3.50, 22.0.50, 23.0.0.

No. But I can tell you that your lines change the value of  
OTHERCHARS, from default "[-'^`\".@]" (in a version running some  
time) to "[-']".

And with (require 'ispell) no change ...

I'm not sure whether it's an Emacs thing to decide where a word ends.  
IMO Emacs passes a region or a buffer to the ispell process which  
then reads through this. And so it's ispell then, that decides where  
a word ends. Since I think ispell's not correctly set up ...

In Fink Martin Costabel is the maintainer of this package; in  
francais.aff this is recorded: Copyright 1999, Christophe Pythoud et  
GUTenberg. Here is an excerpt from ispell.4:

        Characters  described  with  the boundarychars statement are  
considered
        part of a word only if they appear singly, embedded between   
characters
        declared  with the wordchars or stringchar statements.  For  
example, if
        the hyphen is a boundary character (useful in French), the  
string "foo-
        bar" would be a single word, but "-foo" would be the same as  
"foo", and
        "foo--bar" would be two words separated by non-word characters.

Since francais.aff contains

	boundarychars	[-]

penses-tu is one word! Would it work to subtract - from OTHERCHARS in  
ispell-dictionary-alist-3?

Michaël, could you check your francais.aff file? Maybe this explains  
why you're so successful ...

A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like  
to do. Why? ...In order to afford the sort of existence we don't care  
to live.
