Some spell checker algorithms are probabilistic and can give false positives. That is, they can wrongly conclude that a word is in the dictionary (i.e. correctly spelled) even when it isn't. I'm thinking specifically of Bloom filters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter It is possible that *if* kwrite uses a Bloom filter, or another probabilistic algorithm, that "everyting" is a false positive and there is nothing you can do about it. > The only user spellchecker files I can find in $HOME/ are: > .aspell.en.pws > .aspell.en.prepl > There are no .ispell* files in $HOME/ > > There's no "everyting" in .aspell.en.pws - as confirmed by nano. You should also check the ispell and aspell global dictionary files, just in case. No harm in also checking your word list file, often found at /usr/share/dict/words. -- Steve ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
