Fixes #3902
Description
"that steamer" was flagged as a typo for "than steamer".
This was due to a leftover artefact of the Hunspell origin of Harper's dictionary.
In Hunspell a single annotation flag added "-er" to words.
In Harper, this annotation was extended to assign a "comparative" property to resulting words when the base word included an adjective annotation. Most dictionaries don't include an adjective sense for "steam" but Collins and Wiktionary do.
Efforts were made to remove any of those which were not on adjectives but it was difficult to automate so some words slipped through.
The annotation flag, now
>was simply removed as we already had a separate entry for "steamer" that was correctly annotated.How Has This Been Tested?
Added the sentence from the bug report as a new test and verified that
just teststill passes.AI Disclosure
