I made a test to see how the code behaves in front of conflicts.
let's say you have:
color → colour in acor_en-GB.dat
colour → color in acor_en-US.dat
each one will apply only respectively in british english and american english
documents with no conflicts.
If you instead have a:
color → colour in acor_en.dat
it will apply to american english documents as well
so it means that currently the autocorrect engine looks first in the
unlocalized version (acor_en.dat) rather than the localized version
(acor_en-US.dat) which doesn't look good to me.
In my opinion when you have conflicts, the autocorrect engine should look first
in the autocorrect list which is specific for the document language, in this
case (acor_en-US.dat), and only in a second time in the unlocalized version
(acor_en.dat) if there's no replacement in the previous file.</pre>
