I agree.
Another solution I just made up would be to be able to mark an
individual paragraph as not-to-spell-check. This could add an icon
in the margin, so that the user is really aware that the thing shall
not be spellchecked. But it may be that even this is too complicated.
Would it be to difficult to show text that's not spell checked in a
different manner:
* Different foreground or background colour? Inverted?
This stands out way too much, I think
* Greyed out?
Greying is already used in notes, I think.
* Underlined?
What I think also - underline it but with a color that don't
stand out too much. For example, a green that is close
to the yellowish background. Also, green means "ok"
while red underline means "wrong", to be used if optional
on-the-fly spellcheck happens.
* Inside boxes?
* Overstricken?
These two also stand out too much.
It depends on how the ignoring is implemented. If it's implemented as
a character attribute (like language or font attributes) then it's
dead simple: just like foreign languages are marked blue, we could
mark this green.
I'd use the underline only. After all - the text may be both "foreign"
and no-spellcheck at the same time. (With foreign being necessary
for hyphenation, not for spelling.)
