The way I work I would see that as being two misspelled words not one and would regard my correcting "gout" in CV as being opportunistic and as being done outside of the spellchecker, so not the spellchecker's responsibility to automatically track the status of. Similarly with other opportunistic corrections, therefore I have not run into the lost spelling corrections issue (well, not as far as I have noticed
).
If nothing else, I have probably just demonstrated that cats are really good at mental gymnastics and that homophones and similar tricky words are just like rats and mice to them, something to be left for hunting fun
.
But I do like Kovid's proposal to remind one to do a refresh should one go mousing and ratting into the CV, skirting outside of the running spellchecker, as I often do.
