Description

When writing in Atom, adding the name "Let's Encrypt" causes the whole sentence to be flagged as misspelled.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Atom, and start a new file
2. Write the following, without quotes: "Hi Let's Encrypt."

Expected behavior: The sentence is not highlighted as misspelled.

Actual behavior: Each word in the sentence is marked as misspelled, even if it is correct.

Reproduces how often: 100%

Versions

Atom : 1.32.2
Electron: 2.0.9
Chrome : 61.0.3163.100
Node : 8.9.3

macOS Mojave 10.14 (18A391)

Additional Information

If you remove the period/full stop . from the end of the sentence, it is no longer marked as misspelled. If you remove the apostrophe from "Let's", the sentence is also not marked as misspelled.

Edit by @rsese to note other reported examples in the comments - I can reproduce with the examples

• Non-dictionary word or phrase marks whole sentence as misspelled #281 (comment): I'm getting a similar whole sentence marked as misspelled error with improper use of an. For example, Testing an blank sentence., the whole thing is underlined in red. In a long sentence that makes it difficult to find what is wrong.
• Non-dictionary word or phrase marks whole sentence as misspelled #281 (comment): * In many cases, the a and b are the unknowns.
• Non-dictionary word or phrase marks whole sentence as misspelled #281 (comment): I'll add another sentence that triggers this; in my case, it's the presence of quotations marks around a word that causes the false alarm. I'm also on OS X (10.14.4).

These variables are not "properties" of this component.

Without quotes, the words do not get flagged as misspelled.

In Chrome, the above sentence has the word "of" underlined as misspelled, also only if "properties" is quoted.

Might be a macOS system dictionary thing. If I add "Let's" to the system dictionary, this doesn't happen anymore.

I've been seeing the same thing---here's another problem sentence I just wrote:

In response to and anticipation of these changes, we have proposed a measured but far-reaching shift in our application design patterns and---perhaps more fundamentally---our development ethos.

Interestingly, in Chrome, the word "to" is flagged as misspelled, and removing it in Atom clears the whole-sentence red flag.

I have a similar problem, I'm on macOS Mojave, and my atom version is 1.34.0

Entire lines are being highlighted, for example: this line:

* In many cases, the a and b are the unknowns.

Appears like this:

Interesting. I’ve updated the title because it’s not specific to one set of text anymore.

This is happening to me too. macOS Mojave 10.14.2 with Atom 1.34.0.

Interesting to see that removing punctuation from the sentence that has been completely underlined corrects the issue. This occurs even when the sentence has no misspellings or unfamiliar words.

This remains unresolved.

I stumbled across this issue after writing the following.

While there are several viewport-percentage lengths and they're all useful we'll need vw (viewport width).

Just noticed the whole-sentence-underlined phenomena while writing a README. My sentence doesn't have quotes or commas or weird words, seems like a grammar case instead. Removing 'of' causes Atom to remove the whole-sentence red marking.

Just confirming that this is still an issue as of 20 / 3 / 2021.
OS: MacOS Mojave
Atom: 1.55.0
Electron: 6.1.12
Chrome: 76.0.3809.146
Node: v12.4.0
It appears to be caused by grammar issues with a sentence, not misspelt words.

Still an issue with Atom 1.60.0, Mac 12.3.1:

By relegating table size collection to something, here's the bug.

The world "relegating" causes the whole sentence to be marked. But change that word and the bug goes away:
