--- Comment #21 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> --- (In reply to Callegar from comment #20) > No, really it wouldn't. No, really it will. :D > We are talking of words that are "mixed-language". We are talking about *sequences of characters* that *may* represent some "valid" uses of words, but at the same time, may be simply a user error: a user could type "Inter" using Italian system input language (and the text will get Italian language on Windows), and then switch to English and finish "rnational". The end resul will be "Interrnational", with two "r" in the middle. If we disable spell checking on these words, it may go unnoticed (false negative). In current state, it will be marked - and even if such signal will be false-positive, generally false-positives are less harmful than false-negatives (the latter may result in released material being of inappropriate quality; the former are just unnecessarily drawing attention of the author). And no matter how hard will you try to create a smart heuristics, you will always have a potential to write two words with a dot, or dash, or slash, or apostrophe, ... without spaces, and your suggestion will disable spell check on them with possible false negatives. > This means that > there are currently two ways of preventing false positive spell-check errors > on these words and both are hackish and causing more problem than they solve > really introducing a danger of unnoticed spelling errors. The real way to fix such problem is making what you don't need highlighted as "None" language, explicitly disabling spell check. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
