Examples: collected -> col ected
call me -> cal me
intellectually -> intel ectual y
still there -> stil there

Note that if there is a space following the LL, a second space is not added.
While if the LL is in the middle of a word, a space is added.
Does anyone have any idea how much fun this is to repair, word by word???
double ll's could be ligatures , a single character that replaces certain letter sequences.
ffi ll are just some. check the conversion settings for ligatures
