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.

After removing all Guild / Friend lines from the Misspelled.lua, I stopped getting any error. This is of course just a quick fix for me till an update. But Addon still doing what I need from it. :)

I've released a version ready to test with WoW Classic. I don't currently have a game subscription so I'm not able to test the changes. Can you please give it at try and report back if you have success or any issues?
Thanks

I was delighted to see a version ready for Classic! Sadly, after installing it, the addon appears to not be working at all.

You bet! And thank you for the great addon.
Will report back with findings.
EDIT:
It loads fine and the dictionary loads fine according to the chat output.
Unfortunately it's not recognizing misspelled words.
Also, don't forget, you can log into the game on a low level character without a sub. Great for checking your work.

RealRobD, where you having issues with the Wow version of the addon or the Wow classic version? I was able to test the Wow version by logging in with a low level character. I was unable to login to Wow classic. I think I understand what's going wrong in Wow Classic. I'll try and spin up a trial account tonight and troubleshoot the issue.

The last time I played retail, maybe 1.5 months ago, it worked great.
And yes, my references are to classic.
My apologies. That is correct, you can't log into a low lvl character on classic. That slipped my mind.

The Classic version seems to be working now! Will comment if there's any issues, but so far so good.
Thank you so much! =)

Posted Aug 22, 2019So, during the first stress test for Classic WoW this addon didn't seem to be working. Are there any plans for this to be compatible with Classic WoW?

Posted Dec 16, 2018I was able to move the source code repository to Github: https://github.com/nrpieper/wow-misspelled, and got the latest update packaged and deployed.
Give it a try now! I have the suspicion some changes related to in-combat chat could require further updates.\
If you run into any issues, please report them.
Thanks!
