Title: GTKSpell bug.
Post by: Joe on September 15, 2005, 05:25:41 pm

GTKSpell's spell checker marks "GTKSpell" as incorrect.

It's not a bug. GTKSpell is not an standard English word.

I beg to differ. Google returns no errors. It does for GTKSpell. =P

You say GTKSpell is a word, or Linux is a word?

No, Linux is a name. Linux, however, is not an English word, just like Microsoft. Linux passes the spellcheck in GTKSpell, but GTKSpell does not.

It also has "Glenn".  GTKSpell has common and well-known names, like Linux.

I give up. I still say that Linux is not a word though.
