Do you think > there is any chance of adding such features to aspell? See the To Do section on Aspell home page (http://aspell.net). So Yes I hope to add Hunspell features to Aspell. The first item on the list "Twofold suffix stripping" is mostly implemented. I hope to have the other item "Better support for compound words ..." implemented by Aspell 0.61. Hunspell is most directly related to MySpell as it is based on it's code base. Aspell is still the best spell checker to use for English since it does a superior job of suggesting possible replacements for a misspelled words. For some other languages Hunspell is better like Hungarian and Turkish, for others both Aspell and Hunspell work equally well. Also Aspell functions much better as an independent application than Hunspell does.
