Attached find my code which works with Hunspell and utf-8 coded buffers
only.  Add to your .emacs something like


(load "~/speck.el" nil t)

(custom-set-variables
 '(speck-dictionaries-alist '((0 "en_US" nil nil) (1 "de_AT" nil nil) (2 "en_US" 
("de_AT") nil)))
 '(speck-wordchars-alist
   '(("en_US" "'´`" nil)
     ("fr_FR" "’'" nil)
     ("en_US,fr_FR" "'´`’'" nil))))

(global-set-key [(f7)] 'speck-mode)


customize 'speck-wordchars-alist' according to your like (the above are
the values I use - you probably want to add options for en_GB), hit F7
in some window you want to check and tell me if special-casing treatment
of characters with that option works.
