I agree with this. A spell checker highlighting in some way, anything it does not understand, is most distracting and too easily breaks the thread of thought. Much better, in my view to treat spell checking as a separate task. That way you can do a global rejection of any offered correction of something that is actually exactly what you wanted, or perhaps, add something to your personal dictionary. Cheers G
