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.

The color I selected for the highlighting can be changed in the Misspelled.lua file. Change line 122: local SPELLED_WRONG_HIGHLIGHT = "|cff7dc6fb" --The color misspelled words will get changed into. (Medium-Cyan-ish)
The color value needs to be in this format: |caarrggbb c(aa being the alpha transparency value)(rr, gg, bb, being the color values in hex format and RGB order)
I selected a color that wasn't being used for any other purpose in chats. That may no longer be the case or another addon might be using a similar color. Feel free to experiment with different values.

Yeah, some communities seem to use the same color by default as misspelled now. I was super confused why my misspelled was not working until I realized "Oh! This community I joined uses the same color!" so I ended up changing the community color but I have been wanting to change it to a very bright red color instead for a while.
Thank you so much for this information so I can change the color. Also thank you this addon, seriously this addon is a god send and makes me feel so much more confident when typing in game. Seriously, this has to be my favorite WoW addon because of just how helpful it is.

Posted Jan 17, 2020Is not working with current update in retail. When you correct a word the edit box closes. With elvui you can hit enter again and it will show the text with the corrected word however this is annoying and is not working as intended. I assume anyone not using elvui, which says your text, probably is losing all of their text except the corrected word. Please fix.

Posted Jan 16, 2020Ever since 8.3 was released, I've been having trouble with this addon. Every time I try to correct a typo, it would close the chatbox, when I open up the chatbox only the word I tried to correct was in the box while everything else I typed in vanished.

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. :)
