Misspelled - Chat Spellchecker
Misspelled is a chat spell-checker addon. Misspelled watches the chat messages you type, highlighting any misspellings and offering suggestions for any misspelled words it finds.
I've included in the US & UK English dictionaries some Warcraft specific proper nouns, including the zone names, and all dungeon and raid boss names. Your friends and guild members are also automatically added, and shouldn't get flagged as misspelled words..Misspelled utilizes the HunSpell style, affix (prefix/suffix) compressed dictionaries. The same ones used in Chrome, Firefox, and OpenOffice. Misspelled provides suggestions based on words that phonetically sound like the misspelled word, along with providing suggestions based on common mistakes of spelling. While Misspelled can detect nearly the same number of individually correctly spelled words as OpenOffice, it's suggestion engine, is "somewhat" less complicated, than the HunSpell implementation.
Misspelled includes dictionaries for US-English, UK-English, French, German, Italian, Russian (experimental), and Spanish. The appropriate dictionary, for your game client locale, will auto-load, or you can manually choose what dictionary to use from Misspelled's Interface/Addons options page.
I'm attempting to localize the menus and configuration page. You can help by visiting: http://www.wowace.com/addons/misspelled/localization
Misspelled works with WIM (Wow Instant Messenger), and is compatible with: Prat, Skinner, and Chatter.
Usage note: Spell Checking is performed as you complete each word you've typed. The last word in the chat box, isn't spell checked until you type some form of word terminator, either a period, space, or some other word separating punctuation. Spell checking is very fast; but isn't performed needlessly, while a word is being typed.
Misspelled is compatible with Wow, Wow Classic/Wrath/Cata If you are having problems with Misspelled, please try updating or disabling all other chat addons you may be running.

Posted May 12, 2011Canadian spelling is different from US and UK spelling, so neither quite fits the job

Posted Apr 28, 2011I want to say to the people being scared about the memory usage that this addon is nowhere as big as a lot of other addons like Lightheaded, Questhelper, Gatherer, Auctioneer, etc.
The Auctioneer addons for instance takes over 10 to 20 times as much meomory (in total) as this one does and it all works well for me.
Addons collecting data are the ones to keep eye on. Those will make the meomory usage grow over time.
Wowhead Looter, gatherers, dps-meters and especially gear-inspecting addons, etc. Those will make the game crash when staying in crowded areas for a while.
But playing the game with over 200MB of used addon memory is not crashing the game, I can tell from experience. And this addon is just using a very small portion of that and enabeling/disabeling never ever had any influence in my game experience.

Posted Apr 26, 2011It's an opinion, I share with many other developers; Addon memory usage is not something you need to be concerned about. That is unless, and addon uses more and more memory as time goes on, without releasing any of it.
What needs to be focused on is the CPU usage profile of an addon. An addon that uses too many CPU cycles, can slow the frame rate, of the game significantly.
Missplled's memory usage is, usually, well under 10MB. That's nothing to be concerned about. I store large tables for the dictionaries, phonetic sounds of words, and additional tables that cache recent suggestion lookups, and correctly spelled words. It's a conscious choice to trade some additional memory usage, for the CPU cycles that would be used up, to calculate all this information on the fly, every time it was needed.
Open up your Windows Task Manager. The Wow.exe process can only use up to 2GB of memory, total. If it's no where near that, you don't need to be concerned about addon memory usage. I've found wow.exe will crash, and become unstable if the process memory usage exceeds much past 1.7GB

Posted Mar 21, 2011I run so many other addons that the extra memory from this one srsly kills me.
48 seconds to load my UI with out... 120 seconds with.
ReloadUI taking 3 minutes sometimes with it. :(
I know there either isn't anything, or isn't much you can do about it, but, just venting...

Posted Mar 22, 2011Without Misspelled, I sit at 120 to 210MB of addon memory.
I'll try the deleting non-needed dictionaries though.

Posted Mar 23, 2011Odd though, when I checked, Misspelled was using 8MB (which is like, 4th biggest behind Zygor [at a whopping 47MB... have to look into that], Auctioneer scan data at 18 and recount [after a raid with a lot of time data])
