[Bug 1469355] [NEW] aspell doesn't warn when given an unknown language string

 

Public bug reported:

If I run, say:

$ aspell -l en_NZ --mode=tex check file.tex

or

$ aspell -l en_BLAH --mode=tex check file.tex

aspell will continue on and do its spell checking in en_US, which is
very incorrect behaviour. It should throw an error rather than proceed
on doing the wrong thing.

If I use en_GB it'll use correct spellings for that language.
