Why doesn't
someone just add a function, that before
submitting every article/change, it runs a spell checker, writes
all the ``mistakes'' and possible ``corrections'' along with
an editable field of the article bellow. This way the editor
can see his/her mistakes and correct them very easily.
Because some of us find these things very irritating, and rarely
run them on software that comes with them. Conversely, those
who want such a function can copy the text into a word
processor that has it, run the spell-check, and make the changes
they want. We don't need to burden our programming team, or
our software.
But you can't deny that the problem is there. I think most
people wouldn't cut&past it into their spellchecker
but they would correct it if they saw their mistakes
directly on the screen.
