.... I presume that server-side spell
checking does not preclude one from using a client-side spell-checker, so
I'm really at a loss as to why -- aside from the seemingly inevitable
naysaying so common to this list -- a server-side spell checker is such a
bad idea. But then I'm sure someone will be along shortly to explain why
it
is bad for the internet, violates the Wiki concept, or creates mopery and
dopery on the spaceways.
The main objection on :en: would be the inevitable arguments as to whether
to use US or UK English.
It **might** be possible to arrange for an option wherein a particular
spelling dictionary could be selected for a given article, but the scope for
spelling-reversion-wars would be immense.
OTOH for those wikis which use a single well-defined mode of spelling, this
might well be very helpful for non-native contributors.
Assuming they pick the correct option obviously: we are awl familiarity with
thee pecuniary problematic of spell-cheque systemic :-)
