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. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aspell-ru depends on: ii aspell 0.60.6-1 GNU Aspell spell-checker ii dictionaries-common 0.98.12 Common utilities for spelling dict aspell-ru recommends no packages. aspell-ru suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
