Re^2: Automatic spell checking when previewing

...it is going to be annoying to constantly see highlighted words that aren't actually mispelled

Is it?

As for me, I got used to spellcheck my technical writings (and they are usually bilingual). Most of the time there are passages of text and passages of code there. It's very easy to spot a hilited word inside a mostly right text paragraph and to ignore hilited words inside code.

BTW, all the code on PM is marked up so it would be very easy to automatically skip it when running spellchecker.

If I run the sentence "TheDamian writes perlish code on perlmonks", which doesn't contain any word that is extremely rare on this site, through "spell", it finds three unknown words. This is a cutie too: `for f in /usr/local/share/perl/lib/5.8.3/pod/*.pod do pod2text $f done \| spell \| wc -l 9154` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
