Description

The following case: the db consists of two terms both with the same frequency "sound" and "round".

Calling get_spelling_suggestion with "sound" as the word, returns "round".

I've included a patch for the issue.

This patch makes testcase spell7 fail. That testcase was deliberately added in r14859, to partly address #225.

I agree it's arguable, but I think this probably isn't a bug. If you typed "sound" you might have meant "round" (even though "sound" is certainly a valid word), so suggesting a correction to "round" isn't an unreasonable thing to do. So thanks for the patch, but I don't think we want to make that change.
