Danish may have this "feature" also but that means it had that feature (ie - WORDCHARS include the ".") before Sigil made any changes. The dictionary itself must be designed to support spellchecking abbreviations. The old Sigil dictionary did not. They new Sigil dictionary does. You will need to take that up with the Danish hunspell dictionary creator why they included the "." in WORDCHARS. in their dictionary.

We use it in the Sigil "en" one to support correct spelling checks for abbreviations, "etc.", "Mrs.", "Mr.", ... and to force the Hunspell dictionary to make better suggestions in english as not every single uppercase character is a valid standalone word but the old dictionary included them just to "simulate" abbreviation handling.
