Undo re-use/re-using addition: it's not necessarily a typo #3521
Description
I'm just running codespell on all of the python peps. I switched to main just now, see #3520
I notice that I get a lot of re-using/re-use typos. This isn't really a typo that's severe, it should maybe be part of an extra dictionary of "opinionated" rewrites. You don't want to change a PEP unless it's a clear typo.
Also, I think as part of CI, one should run codespell on large code bases to see what the impact would be and whether there's a risk of false positives. Otherwise it's hard to tell.

This will change around 10% of all uses of reuse or around 1 word per 2 million which is quite a lot!

It's even in titles of published books...

Curated dictionaries and SCOWLS (And Friends) only have
reuse. The grammar rule is Use the hyphen with the prefix re only when re means again AND omitting the hyphen would cause confusion with another word.kayhayen commentedon Dec 30, 2024
What's the difference between
re-usevs.reuse(for which I had codespell trigger me), andre-usedandreused, I was going to check if or how I report this kind of thing, it seems past tense and plural cases of words are not automatically recognized. Is this something the curated word lists should be reported to, or is this something for codespell at all.
