Package: aspell-ru
Version: 0.99g5-5
Severity: important

Some time ago some problems appeared in Russian dictionary with words
with letter "io".

Letter "io": Ё - capital, ё - small... You can see them if you have
russian fonts installed. If not see unicode table:
<U0401>    CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IO
<U0451>    CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IO

In Russian language Io -- is optional letter. In most cases we use
letter "ie" instead of "io". And it is correct usage.

Letter "ie": Е - captial, е - small
<U0415>    CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IE
<U0435>    CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER IE

"io" is mostly used in books for children, or when there are two
different words with similar spelling, that differs only by "ie" and
"io", and this difference can't be guessed by context.

Words in aspell-ru dictionary is given with "io" spelling, and it is
correct. But "ie"-spelling is also correct and what is more important
is used in daily life. But this variant of spelling is missing in
aspell-ru dictionary, and this really spoils my life, because when I
type a lot of words marked as incorrect just because aspell things it
should be written with "io", and I wrote it with "ie".

Can you please fix this, and add "ie"-variant of spelling in aspell-ru
dictionary (simply replase all "io" with "ie" and add the result to
existing words. This will be 100% correct operation).

My be it would be wise to create two versions of russian dictionary,
one with 'io'->'ie' simplification, one without (for thous who edits
books for children for example). But simplified version must be default
because it is used bo 95% (or more) of users.

If you need some more information, or need some script writing, or
something, feel free to ask me, I will do what I can.
