Option

Default

To change, set

If bright-blue was not found in the open lexicons, check both bright and blue and treat bright-blue as correctly spelled if both words are found.

Yes

SplitHyphenatedWords

Apostrophes should - if necessary - be considered as word separators, and each sub-word checked individually. Example: If quell'anno was not found in the open lexicons, check both quell and anno, and treat quell'anno as correctly spelled if both words are found.

No

SplitContractedWords

Words should be treated as a series of concatenated sub-words, and each sub-word checked individually (only if the original word is not found in any open lexicon) The word is correctly spelled if all sub-words containing two or more characters are correctly spelled. Example: dumptruckdriver was not found in the open lexicons, attempt to locate valid sub-words (in this case dump, truck, and driver), and treat dumptruckdriver as correctly spelled if all sub-words are found.

No
