--- Comment #2 from Mark <[email protected]> ---
Right. In this proposal, the additional option would be added to the context
menu. The look-up to the on-line dictionary would simply confirm to the user
whether the speller was truly an error. 

The choice to add the word to the local dictionary would be a separate
additional action by the user. 

Sorry that was not clear in the original description.

Example: "inerrancy" is underlined in the document. User right clicks on the
word. A context Menu opens with the new option being "On-line Lookup". User
selects that option and a webpage is opened on the page
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/inerrancy . 

User mentally confirms that the word has been spelled correctly and returns to
the document. Since that word is likely to be used again, the user right-clicks
on the word a second time and selects "Add to Dictionary" or "Ignore" or
"Ignore All" -- or if the word is a one-off, none of the above. User choice.

An useful feature of those on-line dictionaries is that the user confirms not
only the spelling, but by reading the definition-- that the correct homonym is
selected. Additionally, most such services can resolve approximate spellings
and redirect to the correct one. Thus, "inerancy" automatically redirects to
the entry for "inerrancy"
