And I guess it's even more difficult because some languages use hunspell by default. An extrawords package as a dependency to other dictionaries packages might have looked a nice solution, but this doesn't fix the other problems you wrote about (non-latin, non-trademark).

Dude, that's like the most ungracious response to fixing a bug I think

Wow, I'm sorry if I have hurt anyone's feeling here, that was certainly not intentional. Text messages (evermore in a foreign language for me) unfortunately don't always carry the full intent of what one's wanted to communicate. I guess I just felt a little bit bad about the "I only do english" short response and bug status reset (my opinion at the time was that someone else than you, even me with some reading, could have fixed other packages affected by this bug which some were still seeing with their respective locales). However, Bryce, be assured that I am very grateful for your hard work here and with Xorg!

Now back to more interesting stuff: I had a look at the patches and couldn't just copy and paste the logic into hunspell so I opened Bug #417657 - as initially recommended - for other languages affected by this bug.

Thanks and sorry for the noise.
