WordPress Spellchecker ?? Is it a joke ?

Posted by: blogofdifferential on: September 28, 2008

Really ? Is it?

Unlike Microsoft word, you have to explicitly ask for spell check. It doesn’t highlight spelling errors as you type. After you finish typing, and when you click on spellchecker, it takes some time to highlight the errors. After that you would see many correct words highlighted as spelling errors. Now for the person like me who’s poor in spellings, it’s confusing. Many times part of the word is treated as a separate word and suggestion is given for that. Also if a word starts with capital letter, part of word which is in small letters is treated as a separate word resulting in spelling error. :-(

To overcome this I had to type in microsoft word, then copy-paste it to notepad and then again copy-paste to wordpress editor. That was a long way. Any suggestion for this ???
