A smarter spell checker
One of my favorite apps, Tinderbox, has a built-in
spell checker. I thought it was using the one provided by Mac OS X, but
I just noticed an important, and very cool, difference. In Tinderbox,
if I end a sentence with two periods, it flags the last word as being
misspelled. If I type three periods, it lets it go, since I could be
typing an ellipsis. (Albeit a sloppy one, instead of using the ellipsis
character.)
This is wonderful! That's such a common typo and I love that my
computer flags it for me. However, when I turn on spell checking in
Mail (when would I ever have it off?!) I don't the get the same result.
Mail lets me use two periods without complaint. Bummer. I don't know
why there's a discrepancy. :-(
