Description Brian Curtis 2009-08-28 01:52:00 UTC 
Binary package hint: empathy

The ability to mark certain strings to be ignored by the spell checker is invaluable.

Words that are clearly not in the dictionary, and don't have a place as suggested spellings, such as special purpose acronyms, or buzz words, shouldn't be added to the dictionary. But its annoying to see words that are deliberately spelled in certain ways over and over be marked as spelled incorrectly. Thus, it would be nice to have empathy ignore instances of that particular string when doing spell checking for either that conversation, or forever.
