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.
