Subject: ispell-buffer always gives bogus (0) and (1) choices
Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2010 09:55:36 +0800

Why can't i/flyspell get the order correctly?

$ cat file
transfered
extention
$ ispell file

 0: extension
 1: extent ion
 2: extent-ion

Whereas ispell-buffer always has these bogus (0) and (1) choices:

$ LANG=C LC_ALL=C HOME=/tmp emacs -nw file
M-x ispell-buffer

Affix rules generate and capitalize this word as shown below:
        transfer+ed
Use option `i' to accept this spelling and put it in your private dictionary.(0) transfer ed
(1) transfer-ed  (2) transferred  (3) transferee  (4) transferees  (5) transformed  (6) transversed
(7) transferee's

(0) extent ion  (1) extent-ion  (2) extension  (3) extenuation  (4) extensions  (5) extinction
(6) extortion  (7) extending  (8) extension's  (9) extensional  (:) extenuation's

By the way, why does
$ spell file #and ispell too
not say anything about 'transfered', but in emacs ispell does?
P.S.,
$ dict transfered
No definitions found for "transfered", perhaps you mean:
gcide:  Transferred  Transferee
stardic:  transferred  transferee

I cannot reproduce that.  I get the same choices as you show from
ispell outside Emacs, and in the same order.

Are you sure ispell-buffer doesn't use aspell or hunspell instead of
the real ispell?  What are your values of ispell-really-aspell and
ispell-really-hunspell?  In my case, I know that's really ispell that
ispell.el invokes, because I don't have the other two installed.

I don't understand the question: you just showed above that ispell
_does_ say something about 'transfered'.

> $ dict transfered
> No definitions found for "transfered", perhaps you mean:
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Exactly.

ispell-really-hunspell nil
ispell-really-aspell "0.60.6"

Only inside emacs. Outside we see

$ echo transfered  |/usr/bin/spell # http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transfered #misspelling
$ echo transferred |/usr/bin/spell
$ echo transferrred|/usr/bin/spell
transferrred

$ cat t
transfered
$ ispell t
$

That's it: you are actually using aspell inside Emacs.  So I'm closing
this bug.

> $ echo transfered  |/usr/bin/spell # http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transfered #misspelling
> $ echo transferred |/usr/bin/spell

Only the last one is of (casual) interest to this issue, and I cannot
reproduce it: for me, ispell highlights "transfered" as a misspelling
and shows exactly the same choices as inside Emacs.  Maybe you should
do a "type ispell", perhaps there are more surprises there.

I see. http://debbugs.gnu.org/7732 must be an aspell bug!

EZ> do a "type ispell", perhaps there are more surprises there.
$ type ispell
ispell is hashed (/usr/bin/ispell)
