Hi Alan,
Why "pseudo-reform"?
About as elegant as "ped X-ing". In fact, we could suppress all accentuated characters and stick to ASCII, making UTF-8 unnecessary. Those ü are notorious for creating all sorts of problems when converting files between systems. ;-)
or use wikipedia as an authoritative reference...
Sorry, this is probably more authoritative:
http://www.academie-francaise.fr/sites/academie-francaise.fr/files/rectifica...
Which gives "acceptable" alternative-spellings, and says that the circumflex is not mandatory. It does not suggest that août is incorrect. Furthermore, août remains the reference.
Anyway, it's not important for me, if you apply the patch or not.
(if "aout" is wrong, then hunspell must be wrong too...)
Depends on which hunspell dictionary you use... Alan
