Which dictionary and spellchecker are you using?

There is a known problem with the typographically correct apostrophe
(“right single quotation mark” U+2019) (bug#17437). Does the problem
happen with the single quote or with that U+2019 apostrophe?

They both give me the highlight. I am using emacs -Q and there is no
settings for dictionary unless it is based on locale. Mine is
en_GB.UTF-8.

CentOS with /usr/bin/hunspell
        - 24.3.1 compiled on 2013-12-09 doesn't have this bug
        - 24.3.92 compiled on 2014-06-30 and 24.4.50 (2014-06-29) both have this
          bug.

MacOSX with /usr/bin/aspell

24.3.92.1 doesn't have this bug.

Thanks,
Leo

I don't see this problem with Hunspell and today's trunk and emacs-24
branch.

If you invoke Hunspell outside of Emacs, does it accept "doesn't" as
correct spelling?  Here's what I get when I type "doesn't" into
Hunspell and hit RET:

  hunspell -a
  @(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.2)
  doesn't
  *

The asterisk response means the word is correct.

Does your dict .aff file contain a WORDCHARS section? Is apostrophe in it?
For instance, in my box (Sorry for the unixisms)

$ grep -i wordchars /usr/share/hunspell/en_{AU,GB,US}.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/en_GB.aff:WORDCHARS 0123456789'-.’
/usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff:WORDCHARS 0123456789'

That is, australian dict does not have it, so I get

$ echo doesn\'t | hunspell -a -d en_GB
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.3)
*

$ echo doesn\'t | hunspell -a -d en_US
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.3)
*

But if I use the australian dict

$ echo doesn\'t | hunspell -a -d en_AU
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.3.3)
& doesn 3 0: does, doest, does n
*

$ grep -i wordchars /usr/share/myspell/en_{AU,GB,US}.aff
/usr/share/myspell/en_US.aff:WORDCHARS 0123456789

i.e. en_GB.aff has no WORDCHARS.

So I guess the problem is with the Hunspell dictionary, not with
Emacs.  Perhaps try copying the WORDCHARS line from en_US.aff to
en_GB.aff, and see if that helps.

Ineed. But what is odd is that emacs 24.3 on the same system doesn't
have this problem.

Are you sure it also uses Hunspell, and with the same dictionary?

Didn't we make a change in 24.4 in ispell.el to take more info from
Hunspell and its dictionaries, instead of from ispell-dictionary-alist
etc.?  That could explain why it worked before.

OK, I didn't know about this. Closing for now. Thanks, Leo
