I'm not trying to say I hate open source software, what I'm saying is
that "misspelt" words, in most of the cases I'm seeing, and it
doesn't matter whether its open source software or commercial
software they both work the same, the word underlined in "Red". For
example Thunderbird and Outlook do that, and when I click on send and
the spell checker then parses the document, it then offers potential
replacements for the "misspelt" word, for example, offering to
replace github with Github, or if it can't find a replacement the
dialog is empty. What would be nice is if the "misspelt" word was
underlined in a different color to indicate that the word or a
replacement doesn't exist in its dictionary. I'm not saying the spell
check functionality needs to be any different, just that a visual
difference between the two would be nice.
Are you saying that you want a difference between words it can find
something similar to and ones that it can't? Do you understand that
the dictionary doesn't have any information about "misspelt" vs.
"doesn't exist"? They are all just not in the list. It only has an
algorithm to try to find something similar in its list of known words
and sometimes what you've written is too far off for it to find
anything. What's the benefit of distinguishing that?
From my perspective, if the process is flagging multiple words as
"misspelt", and it can't find the words at all in its dictionary or it
can't associate them with words that are, and I know the words are spelt
correctly, then I can decide whether I want to go through the spell
check process and add the words to the dictionary or send the mail
without going through the spell check at all.
