The word "wold" (wolds, wold's) is in the Aspell master English dictionary (aspell -d en dump master | aspell expand | grep wold). I would like to consider this word as a misspelling, i.e., as if it were not in the master dictionary, so that echo wold | aspell list would output "wold" instead of being silent. (In my world, "wold" is always a misspelling of "would", not the Old English word for a wood.) Short of dumping all the words, removing the wold variants, and making a new custom dictionary, is it possible? For example, is there some way in a personal dictionary, or some other file, to "override" (excise, remove) an existing master dictionary entry? I looked in the manual and did various searches to no avail. One person with essentially the same question did end up making a new dictionary: https://ryanveach.com/146/aspell-custom-dictionary/ Any info appreciated. --thanks, karl.
