[en-GB] Spelling errors not found #2714

These AmE spellings are not correct BrE, but the spelling checker does not find them:

[ ] self-rising (https://www.lexico.com/definition/self-rising)

marcoagpinto commented 4 years ago

Well, the GB speller doesn't find it because it is a compound word and Hunspell sees it as two words: self + rising (verb rise) since "self" is valid and "rising" is valid and are separated by a hyphen, Hunspell accepts it as valid.

@marcoagpinto , thanks for the explanation of the cause.
