When doing .suggest('patients'), I don't see patience in the list.

Why isn't it reciprocal?``

Anybody home?

Aspell makes no such guarantee. There is a slight chance it is a bug, but it is unlikely.

@kevina, maybe you can check it? Since editdistance(a,b) = editdistance(b,a) it should be the same, shouldn't it? Do you see the same symptom on your end?
