B.T.W.
I've mentioned the perceived problem of dyslexics and spell checkers around the software world (with the hope of raising awareness of the issue), and come up with a couple of interesting things (apart from being flamed for being so ignorant about what the software can actually manage!)
Apparently people like Micros**t specifically employ dyslexia specialist in their spell checking department, and it was pointed out that in the original message that started this part of the thread, MSWord uniquely suggested the correct spelling or grammar for 23 of the 26 problems it identified. It only struggled on soisiaty (society - no correct suggestion), spelogical (no correct suggestion) and shoret (short - 3rd suggestion)
The second point is that there are context checking, phonetic based spell checkers specifically designed for the dyslexic user, which are reported to be even better than MSWord.
OK – these products are not perfect, but they are proven to help the understand ability of documents, even if they still contain errors. The tip that nearly everyone who positively responded (i.e. not totally slagging off my ignorance) to my posts was; that unless you know that the first suggestion is wrong, it's best to trust the software and choose its suggestion. The overall the document will improve as a result.
I hope this helps people to trust their spell checkers a little more.
It certainly helped me to understand that this issue is being considered.
Right, I've said enough on this subject!
And I apologise for any embarrassment I have caused to anyone.
