Hi everybody,

I know this is an older issue, but I thought I would share what I have found - hopefully not covering old ground.

I am using the UK English Dictionary from Sigil, and like a number of others found that even after adding a word to the dictionary, smart quotes still had a red line under them. (Tried adding hyph_en_GB.dic - didn't solve the issue)

However if you replace the smart quote with a straight quote (Don’t / Don't)
then add to the dictionary it will be accepted.

Then undo until the smart quote reappears and I found the red underline had gone and any future occurance of the selected word either with a smart quote or straight quote was recognised.

Hope this helps?
