Thanks.  If you look at the bug with the URL above you'll see the
command I ran on my system to show aspell didn't recognise the
spellings.

    echo offensive/advisor/panellist/practice | tr / \\012 | aspell pipe

Try it with a word it does know to see how the output differs.

    echo test | tr / \\012 | aspell pipe

The `locale' command I used will confirm you're in an en_GB (English,
Great Britain) locale.

If you get the same results, and you agree that the words Mark and I
have spelt are correct British English, then tick the `Confirm bug
(change status to NEW)', add a comment giving your view, and hit
`Commit'.

It may ask you to log in to your Bugzilla account at that stage, which
is a simple case of registering with an email address.  You can register
and log in beforehand if you prefer.

Cheers,


Ralph.
