SBA->Khermansen: The SpellChecker does not "think". It has a wrong entry... :-)
The English (UK) SpellChecker "thinks" a better way. So this affects English
(US) only.
The "Google fight" results show that this typo is very common. I wonder, how
much the OOo spell checker "contributed" to the figures (> 32,900,000
misspellings :-)
This is not an enhancement, but a defect of low Prio.
-> Summary and issue type adjusted.
If you run into a word that is wrongly spelled in the dictionary, there is an
easy workaround by creating a user-defined exception dictionary (whose purpose
is to avoid "bad words" while having a "good" replacement proposal):
- Tools-Options-Language settings-Writing aids
- Beside the "User-defined dictionaries, click "New"
- Name the dictionary
- Check "exception"
- Put the "wrong" word in the first box
- Put the "right" word in the second box
- Click "New"
- OK
-> Done
Now, still, the correct word gets marked as wrong because it is not in the
"positive" dictionary.
So, yet, only the "wrong" proposal does not show anymore.
So the correct word must be added to a user-defined "positive" dictionary. To do
so...
- Enable AutoSpellcheck
- Put cursor in the underlined (correct) word
- Context-Add-[choose a dictionary]
-> Done.
Note: Another way is to edit a user-defined dictionary directly via
tools-Options-Language Settings-Writing Aids.
SBA->Pavel: I could not figure out who is in charge to toy with the dictionary.
Please proceed.
Reassigned to Pjanik.
