Description Tom Meinen 2014-05-18 03:54:27 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. .... Tools ==> AutoCorrect Options
2. .... scroll down to the listings (explained below)

Current behavior: There are two incorrect entries.  1. docuement corrects to documents  2. faetures corrects to feature.  

Expected behavior: Both those autocorrections are wrong.  They should be as follows: 1. docuement corrects to document (not plural)  2. faetures corrects to features. (it is plural)  

Other way to reproduce problem: In a document, simply type "docuement" and "faetures."  You will see that they autocorrect to the wrong thing.  

              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.4.2 release

I confirm those 2 wrong entries in many English subgroups (UK, USA, Australia, SouthAfrica) in Win7x64 as well.

not a new issue since those errors have been shipped in the default english replacement lists from OOo era and affect any subsequent LibO and AOO release.

so version is "inherited from OOo"

those files are under: 
\Bin\LibreOffice 4\share\autocorr

and are:
acor_en-AU.dat (australian english)
acor_en-GB.dat (british english)
acor_en-US.dat (american english)
acor_en-ZA.dat (south african english)

I also see an acor_en-ES.dat which I don't know wich variant refers to.

issue persists in Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1+

@Tom
would you please check if there are other wrong entries so that we fix'em all at once?

@Joel Madero
I think this bug represent a MAB (most annoying bug) for english users since we ship an autocorrect feature that automatically corrects 2 common typing mistakes in an incorrect way.
