Replacing 'i' with 'I' using Emacs

Question

I use ispell to do spell-checking, but it does not replace the word 'i' with 'I'.

Answer 1

With the following code flyspell at least shows such misspellings. The list is to be extended.

(defvar flyspell-wrong-one-letters '("i"))

(defadvice flyspell-word (before one-letter activate)
  "Check one-letter words"
  (when (and
     (if following (looking-at "\\<[[:alpha:]]\\>")
       (looking-back "\\<[[:alpha:]]\\>"))
     (member (match-string 0) flyspell-wrong-one-letters))
    (setq known-misspelling t)))

I just looked into flyspell not into ispell yet. I know that this is not really a solution for you... Sorry.
