Autocorrect not working on some words

Cyril,
I don't know if it's just me or not, but in addition to I'll, I also have a problem with a lot of other words like:
youre -> you're
dont -> don't
cant -> can't
id -> i'd
Im -> I'm

And in addition to that, occasionally the first letter isn't always capital.

I was having similar issues, but Cyril released an update to the built-in dictionary yesterday (two updates over the course of the day, in fact) and many, if not all, of these autocorrection problems disappeared.

Hi
the problem with all those words, is that now I have a bigger dictionary, which includes them.
So if you type "dont", it will suggest "dont" as it is already in the dictionary, and not "don't"
So the easiest workaround I see is just to remove these words from the list, as I did for "il". I'll do it in the next version, and if you think about other similar words, I'll remove them too

What morons put "dont" and "youre" in a DICTIONARY?

The laziness of people and the acceptance of it is just nuts these days. Thanks for finding a solution for this lunacy Cyril.

Actually the word list is computed automatically from various sources on the internet (cf http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionar ... ency_lists), so there may be incorrect words in it, if they occur frequently. I cannot just take the words out of a real dictionary, as I also need a frequency information for each word. But if you know a good word list (including flexions and frequency!) I can use it ;)

Haha
@Cyril: I figured it was just in the dictionary and it would be an easy fix like I'll, but figured I would bring it to attention. If there are more words I will let you know, thanks a lot.

OK, this is fixed in v1.1.0, at least for the words you gave me

Cool, after that update I'll let you know if I run into any others.
