How can I return True when I check word like find? find, find@ find^

In some languages, punctuation characters are part of a word, see in Dutch t/m, 's avonds, 65+'er and 's-Hertogenbosch. This is one reason that the spell function cannot remove punctuation. That job is for the text parser to do, as in the context of a sentence this is much better to do.

@PanderMusubi Thank you for your reply. I understand why hunspell cannot remove it 👍
I'll use textparser instead.
