Comments on: WordPress 2.1 will have a spell-checker but… http://www.cre8d-design.com/2006/03/wordpress-21-will-have-a-spell-checker-but/ blog designer Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:03:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: blogging milestones (2 months) at disambiguity http://www.cre8d-design.com/2006/03/wordpress-21-will-have-a-spell-checker-but/comment-page-1/#comment-951 blogging milestones (2 months) at disambiguity Tue, 28 Mar 2006 11:17:31 +0000 http://www.cre8d-design.com/wordpress/2006/03/27/wordpress-21-will-have-a-spell-checker-but/#comment-951 [...] On the other hand, I’m celebrating a 2 months of blogging. The first thing is to say that it seems like so much more time than that! At the risk of sounding like an utter dork, blogging has become an integral part of my everyday. Even when I’m not actually writing a lot of posts, I’m often thinking about them. I’ve discovered that it’s relatively rare for me to blog ‘off the cuff’ in response to something I’ve just happened upon. Although, I guess, that’s what my daily links do, in a way. Blog posts actually take some time for me to craft… longer than I’d originally expected, but not so long that I actually go back and proof read them before I send them live…! Maybe next month (when WordPress launches its spellchecker!) [...] [...] On the other hand, I’m celebrating a 2 months of blogging.

I've had my fingers crossed for a spell checker for a while now :) Not that I necessarily *trust* them, but they're good for pointing out real clangers that can be missed in the haste to get a post out! hoorah!

It's just like when you type "The man is wearing a hot". It's not going to pick up a spelling mistake since it's correctly evaluating each word on a word by word basis for spelling accuracy, but potentially a grammar/context checker could pick up errors like this. MS Word tries very hard to detect grammar errors, but in my experience it is usually wrong. Re: “it’s” vs. “its” – I think what you would want then is a spell checker/grammar checker then.

I suspect that we will be stuck with American English as the default and possibly only one available. That will leave those of us that spell centre, honour and colour properly (the English way) a bit stuck...
