Please add "advisor" to hunspell's and LibreOffice's US dictionaries
Last modified: 2017-05-02 11:24:14 UTC
Packages: hunspell's version is 1.3.2-5.2, libreoffice version 5.2.5.1-18.3.2. As of now, the word "advisor", when marked as US English, is not recognized as a valid one by LibreOffice or by hunspell. For example: [ > hunspell -d en_US Hunspell 1.3.2 advisor & advisor 10 0: advisory, adviser, ad visor, ad-visor, divisor, advised, advise, visor, advisable, adverse ] The noun "advisor" itself is valid according to the online dictionaries of Merriam-Webster, Oxford, and Cambridge. There are some semantic differences to "adviser" (which are off-topic here). I'm not sure whether these are two issues related to different dictionaries or one issue, and who would be the responsible people. So, I would kindly ask you - to find this out and redirect appropriately or - to resolve the issue yourself.
FYI: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/tree/en/en_US.dic does not contain "advisor" either. However, I'm not sure whether that dictionary is the source for OpenSuse's dictionaries, and, even if so, who would be the maintainer.

Could you please fill an upstream bug and reference it here? https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/ Thank you
Ok, see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107559 How about hunspell's dictionary?
(In reply to Leon Meier from comment #3) > Ok, see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107559 > How about hunspell's dictionary? That is actually the same package. If it gets fixed in the libreoffice we will inherit it and it is then used system wide. Thus even the hunspell -d en_US would validate it. Marking as upstream pending their resolution (we update the dictionaries periodically about once half a year from that git repository).
Ok, thank you. Let's hope that the Document Foundation will actually take a look at the bug and resolve it.
