And they won't tell you if you made a typo that looks like a real
word.

And they like to tell you the wrong word, too.

I remember someone telling me about a mutual friend who was dyslexic.
He used a spell checker, but every time it flagged a misspelling, he
assumed he was right and added the word to its dictionary, so he had a
spell checker that always confirmed his misspellings.

My problem is that either (A) i make tpoys, like typing "a thome"
(where this subthread started), which a spellchecker might catch - is
"thome" an actual word? or (B) i use a spelling that's wrong for the
word i want, but is an actual word.
