Even the earliest spell checkers were better! I write a lot on here to keep my sanity and several times a day I’m sure my spelling is correct but it gets flagged. About 6 of 7 times, I was right to begin with. Sigh. “Add to Dictionary”
Hadn’t been on Firefox for well over a decade and the Chrome engine turning to crap brought me home. Is there something I should add to fix this? Chrome was nearly flawless, as is every word processor out there. Just can’t get my head around how awful Firefox is at spell check, feel I must must be doing something wrong.
Total shot in the dark,
I had this problem for a while. It turns out the whole time my firefox was set to a different dialect of english (British) lol. I think it may have been set that way by default because of Ubuntu being headquartered in the UK lol
My spellcheck seems to be working fine these days though, could you list some examples of common words that you’ve had to add to the dictionary? I can check how mine responds when I get home
Only example top of mind was “softshell” as in the turtle. It’s also a type of clothing. Firefox disagrees.
iOS doesn’t agree either and autocorrects to “soft shell” with a space
