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 Mar 4, 2015The addon file Misspelled.lua has a variable, near the start, that stores the highlight color used.
You can change the value to whatever you like. Many other colors are used to note different game objects in chat. I choose a color that wasn't being used for anything else.

Posted Oct 28, 2014Try disabling all other addons, except Misspelled. See if that corrects the issue. If Misspelled then works, next try and enable addons until you find the one causing the crash. It's possible the saved settings file, in your WFT folder, for another existing addon could be the cause.
If you have any additional logging info, I'll be happy to take a look and see what I can make of it.

Any applciation that uses a spellchecker will have similar memory usage. It's nothing to be concerned about., and won't reduce game performance.

Posted Oct 6, 2012Oh lordy, i can't thank you enough for this, being self taught in English I often find myself unable to spell certain words correctly, grammar nazis are also giving me hell from time to time! Thanks so much for this addon, dear! Hopefully you won't let it die. :)
By the way, the size doesn't scare me, but I do have this one question: do things get CPU intensive while using the chat? When not on vent - I often type in PuGs during fights etc.
Thanks again for your work and be well!

Posted Oct 8, 2012The addon isn't very CPU intensive. Words are looked up, in the dictionary, after you hit space. The lookup happens very fast. If the word isn't found, it takes just a bit more to hunt and build a list of replacement suggestions. The app caches the last 10,000 misspelled words, so if you type the same sequence again, it doesn't have to work to calculate the list of suggested replacements.

Posted Oct 22, 2012Thank you for your response, I have been using it along with ElvUI for quite some time now, it 'seems' to be working fine with it. The only problem I have is that loading times(reload uI etc.)are longer now, and I also got a LUA error at some point and I remember seeing "Misspelled" in there, unfortunately I didn't save it. Any chance that is needs an update for 5.0.5? Once again - thank you and I really hope that you continue to support this addon.
