Can I teach ispell to accept specific phrases like et al., a priori or in vitro but to scold me when I use the words outside of these phrases, so that I don't use priori without the a before it?

UPDATE simply adding the phrase to the private dictionary does not work

BONUS get latex to print those phrases automatically in in italics (\emph)

  • My first thought would be try to add those phrases to your aspell or hunspell personal dictionary and see if it works. The personal dictionary can be edited by hand. – lawlist Dec 04 '14 at 17:53
  • should've written that I already tried that. Didn't work, though. – lordvlad Dec 04 '14 at 18:47

    `vim` is the only program I know of that does this (though perhaps Word can? LibreOffice cannot). I'd love to see the libraries (like ispell) to catch up. – Adam Katz Feb 28 '16 at 21:02
