Hi, 

Thank you for taking an effort to integrate hspell into KSpell2 (I myself never
used the latter, sorry).

However, I am afraid that the example you tried *does not* make sense. That page
that you refered to does not include so many spelling mistake. You may check
this out if you try the command-line version of hspell and apply it to the file.
There should be only ONE error. 

I have no idea why this happens. One clue that we have is that while you check
the perfectly legal word עמוד ("page") it appears as עמודד (notice the
additional letter). However, it goes deeper than that, since the suggestions are
indeed attempts to correct (the alread correct) עמוד. 

I hope Nadav could hed more light on this puzzle. Anyhow, this needs more work.

It is in our TODO list...

Thanks again for your work. I hope we could solve it together.
