If this is an engineer, they probably use whatever tool they're most familiar with, and that tool is probably set up for mostly engineering (code) work, in which case in my experience spell checking is a major distraction with an outsized ratio of false positives, because my identifiers aren't chosen for their validity in a wordlist. Even in markdown, it's more annoying than helpful most of the time, so I tend to leave it as a manual step that I mostly ignore. People know what I mean 99.99% of the time. So, that'd be my guess. Any sort of editor that's been tuned to an engineer's preferences which includes only manual spell checking.
- j_maffe 3y agoYeah, but this sort of article is what you get at the end of the day. Plus there are several ways of getting rid of false positives and as GP said: at least do it before posting.
- boxed 3y agoPyCharm has a spell checker. It's pretty great. Not using it seems madness.
- senorrib 3y agoSpellchecker in Jetbrains IDEs is terrible. It throws a lot of false positives.
- boxed 3y agoIt's pretty good imo. It's super easy to add words too, easier in fact than the spell checker in iOS or macOS. The one in iOS is the worst imo, as it adds stuff automatically based on common mistakes you make because "machine learning" and you can't even see the list of the "learned" words to remove things it learned that aren't actually words!
