            Bug ID: 129673
           Summary: EDITING: spell-check dictionary expansion
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com

I get lots of red squiggles. I can cure it for myself, but I think more of us
would benefit if the spell-check dictionary was expanded in LO as shipped to
users so that it included more genitives (possessives) and more words that are
uncommon.

Uncommon words are often left out because they're identical to errors in the
work written by people who didn't have advanced vocabularies. A solution to
that is to offer a rare-words dictionary that could be loaded with a single
click, with an option for each user to set it among defaults in Tools >
Options.

Specialized dictionaries (e.g., law or medicine) could be loaded the same way.

For genitives, include both the straight apostrophe and the curved apostrophe.

For this report, profile-resetting and OpenGL are not applicable.
