Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Harper core with the input "EU" and trace how dictionary entries are checked. Done means the spellchecker accepts "EU" without marking it as misspelled, while preserving the expected behavior for comparable abbreviations such as "US" and "USA".
