Chapter 7: Spellchecking
There is not a writer in the world who has never made a spelling mistake, not to mention other types of mistakes that happen in writing. This chapter deals with spellcheckers, that is, with tools that help people spot and correct spelling mistakes. We will explain how you can add a spellchecker to the software in which you do your writing, how spellcheckers work in general, and how to know when you can trust them and when not.
