I did, it removed about 180 of them but not a lot of the others, when I do the rank spelling everyone raves about I still have a ton of word endings or prefixes and weird stuff. Before I even try to fix anything I have a 95.5% rating, and in looking at that list there are some abbreviations which is to be expected, but in the first several after that it is just things like "me-chanical" "permis-sion" and so forth. I thought I knew how to do this? Maybe not.
