Hi
In French, since 1990, it is allow (even advised) to used a “simplified” version of the spelling of some words (for instance the ones with accents).
From what I see, OO is not using a recent dictionary, as it underlines “maitre” (teacher in French) and offer “maître” which is the former spelling.
I guess there should be an update to be done somewhere 🙂 in the default spelling dictionary.
Thanks.

No hurry no worry, take your time, it’s far from being a blocker.

Hello again @arcqus
We have created a suggestion **61441** based on this thread.
We will internally discuss the way to implement corrections in French according to the reform into editors. This implementation will be available in one of the future releases.
Thank you for pointing to this moment!
