Spell checking is something that doesn't happen automatically when you hit spacebar or send though...
- Aloha 9y agoit does and can - its app specific behavior - mac apps can be setup to automatic spellecheking, or just flag the word as suspect.
- DecoPerson 9y agoI’d say that’s “autocorrect” rather than “spell check”
- Aloha 9y agoSemantics for this discussion - the library used is for both spellchecking and autocorrection.
- stan_rogers 9y agoNo, "semantics" suggests that the behaviour is approximately the same. Spellcheck highlights possible errors and awaits user action, while autocorrect silently changes things. They may use the same dictionaries, but they are only distantly related otherwise.
