Possible incorrect values and disable multiple choice

[brendanator]

Below is a list of words that appear on both the left and right hand sides of the dictionary. I assume that most of these are errors.

I spotted this as I'm using minimise (English spelling) and it complained even though it is a correct spelling on the right hand side. Is there an option to disable suggestions when there is more than one choice?

Most are correct but are edgecases. For example whet is a legit word but in many instances it is used incorrectly. Same as gird etc...

See also #1142

[luzpaz]

Issue with these is that we don't have a great solution for either common misspellings and archaic words that are valid but used seldom. the idea is to maybe have a separate dictionary that a user can opt to use that will check this usecase

[peternewman]

I spotted this as I'm using minimise (English spelling) and it complained even though it is a correct spelling on the right hand side.

The British English bit will be #103 too.

[peternewman]

This want checking that they've moved into the correct dictionary once #1142 has gone in.

[peternewman]

Just reopening for another check as at least some (like memorise look to be en_GB), we should try and check the rest.

This is no longer a problem (fixed in #1142)
