ispell.el (and flyspell.el) guessed words menu should be improved

[Agustin Martin <agustin.martin@hispalinux.es>]

Hi,

Just to let you know about a wording problem in ispell.el. For the full
history, please see

http://bugs.debian.org/318917

A summary follows. Using the New German ispell dict and the word 'Shaft',
one gets on spellchecking with ispell.el

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Affix rules generate and capitalize this word as shown below:
        Schaf+t
Use option 'i' if this is a correct composition from the derivative root.
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------

'Schaft' is valid by itself, but not a 'Schaf' derivative. Also, what is
actually saved is 'Schaft', not something of the form 'Schaf/FLAG', so to
save the word into the personal dictionary one has to give a wrong reply to
the question.

Using plain ispell, one gets

00: Schabt
01: Schaf
02: Schafe
03: Schaff
04: Schafft
05: Schafs
06: Schalt
07: Schart
08: Schaut
09: Schasst
10: Schlaft
11: Schuft
??: Schaf+t

[SP] <number> R)epl A)ccept I)nsert L)ookup U)ncap Q)uit e(X)it or ? for
help

where 'i' just means 'Insert if correct' as expected, and the last ?? line
is merely informative that the word is familiar to affix rules.

Seems that some rewording is desirable to make that more clear.

Suggestion by Geoff Kuenning (ispell maintainer) is 

--------------------------------------------------
I would suggest:

    Use option 'i' if this is a correctly spelled word.

and leave the issue of affix composition out of the message.
--------------------------------------------------

I have put something intermediate that still gives some affix rules info,
but Geoff suggestion is probably better.

Same applies to flyspell.el, that asks

Save affix: Schaf+t

where what is saved is the word 'Schaft'.
