But before I go on about that, I agree with everyone else saying don't use those silly chars - what's the benefit? They look stupid and they bring along problems like this (though not for aspell, it would seem, but for Hunspell in your case, and in other situations as well). Again, what's the gain using them? (setq ispell-program-name "aspell") (setq ispell-dictionary "english") (setq ispell-silently-savep t) Ignore within special delimiters: (add-to-list 'ispell-skip-region-alist '("`" . "`")) (add-to-list 'ispell-skip-region-alist '("`" . "'")) > First off, what English dictionary should I be using? With aspell, get it from the repositories - likewise dictionaries, which are called aspell-en, aspell-sv, etc. More aspell: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/spell.el To really get the blood pumping behind your ears, you need shortcuts for the different dictionaries, as well. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
