The code for this plugin has many different search/replace terms for correcting errors. It would require a really large number of checkboxes to implement your suggestion, and then the code would need to examine each checkbox to determine which corrections to implement. Regretfully, this would take me too long to implement and test, so I cannot add this feature to the plugin.

What does Calibre do with the dictionary it has compiled? Does this dictionary consist only of hyphenated words?
On several occasions I have thought that it would be useful to have a dictionary of hyphenated words that need to be kept in the ePub as sometimes the hyphen is removed from some words where I want to keep the hyphen. This is why the plugin gives a list of all the words that have had the hyphen removed - I copy these words to notepad and then do a search/replace to put the hyphen back in to the one or two words where I want to keep the hyphen. Fortunately this does not happen for too many words in a given epub.
I did consider the possibility of producing a dictionary of hyphenated words that were not to be replaced, but then I found that I had an ever-growing list of words to put in the dictionary and decided that it would be too time consuming to finalise a dictionary for this purpose.
