WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: This customer is using the UK version of WordPerfect. This gentleman would like the WP dictionaries to be either true English or true French. This customer thinks that it is crazy that WP has French words in an English UK dictionary. The customer disagrees that "bene" is a word in the English language. The customer is upset that the Speller doesn't catch this word as a misspelled word. The customer states that this word, and words like it, are not in the English dictionary. Solutions: Bene is a real word. Most of the one-syllable words that users report as being incorrect are in fact words, or commonly used valid abbreviations. Bene for example is both a wild boar found in New Guinea, and an archaic English word, which is defined in the Webster's Collegiate as a prayer or a boon. As for words like Bon, the fact is, that the BON VOYAGE spelling is considered to be correct in the English language, and it appears in the dictionary.
