Thank you,

I also noticed the broken links, but had no time to care about it.

$ grep hunspell /var/log/pacman.log | grep 2015
[2015-05-28 19:24] [ALPM] upgraded hunspell-en (7.1-3 -> 2015.05.18-1)
[2015-05-31 21:59] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U hunspell-en-7.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz'
[2015-05-31 21:59] [ALPM] downgraded hunspell-en (2015.05.18-1 -> 7.1-3)
$ grep IgnorePkg /etc/pacman.conf | grep -v "#"
IgnorePkg   = [snip] hunspell-en

Now there are no error messages anymore and I'm allowed to write "Thank you"
using upper case.
