Some remarks regarding the presented list.

  • it is a pity that there is a separate list for the English part, would in my opinion have been nicer when the differences were made available trough pull request on the codespell repository (https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell).
  • one of the problems is of course also that the list contains a mixture of US-English and UK-English, this is nicely illustrated by the following list:
    falvored->flavored
    falvors->flavors
    falvours->flavours
    flavorade->flavored
    flavord->flavored
    flavored->flavoured
    flavores->flavors
    flavour->flavor
    flavoures->flavours
    flavours->flavors
    flavourus->flavours
    flavous->flavours
    and this also leads to the strange rules (i.e. overruling ones own correction):
    flavord->flavored
    flavored->flavoured
  • a killing problem for a repository regarding spelling are of course spelling errors: in README.md Englisch should be English.
  • during the years the repository has apparently been moved from https://github.com/lucasdemarchi/codespell to https://github.com/lucasdemarchi/codespell (fortunately an automatic redirection takes place).
  • in the README,md we see the option -R but as far as I can see this option does not exist (at least not in the official codespell repository in the file codespell_lib/_codespell.py).

I saw a spelling error in my text as well, life isn't perfect would be a bit dull.

Small note regarding the --dictionary it is possible to specify multiple dictionaries and when one wants to use the codespell dictionary and this dictionary one should give --dictionary=- --dictionary=dictionary_all.txt maybe worth mentioning.
