Bug#1007922: false positive spelling: substract and subtract is both correct



Hi Thomas,

> substract and subtract are both correct

Where did you see that word?

> "Now nonstandard and rare"

Yeah, I'm with Russ. I found "sub-S-tract" in the 1913 Webster's
Dictionary but no longer in Webster's Second from 1960. (Finally,
those dusty volumes found some use.) I have never heard, or seen, that
form of "sub-tract," but let's give others a chance to chime in.

Kind regards,
Felix Lechner
