Okay, I get it, spelling is hard, especially in a foreign language, but why in God's name don't you just install a spell check in your IDE?!

Spell check in IDE is a huge pain in the ass as it is mostly wrong

@iiii that might be the case, but at least they'd catch onto most errors I find in our current projects. I can't even count all the different ways 'successful' is spelled in there, let alone wrong plural '-s', like 'informations' etc.
You open a file and it screams at you, half of it is (rightfully) underlined.

There is nothing more annoying than your IDE requesting attention on something that is actually correct. And the spell checker is a champion in that category.
It's the very first thing I disable in all my projects.

Are you concerned about someone who doesn't use spellchecker AND is bad with spelling themself?

@tunneler the amount of false positives outweigh all the benefits of such checker.

The false positive rate is too damn high!

You can't just take a list of words and mark everything that isn't matching exactly.
But spell checkers still seem to mostly work that way.

No

the only thing, that needs to consume the code is the computer. That thing doesn't care, if you spelled it color, colour, diddly or dong. To the programmer it's most important, that your code is understandable, so structuring and commenting your code at all (and correctly) is way more important than checking, if the variable 'announcements' has enough n's in it. That's something you can do, if you'd be bored otherwise.

A logical question that makes sense. I personally use auto-correct for Spanish, which I recently started learning on the following page https://preply.com/en/blog/... and it helps me to express myself more accurately during a heated conversation. Sometimes it seems that you know the language well enough to write in it without self-checking, but in fact it turns out that it is better to use such spelling correctors. In any case, this has a positive effect on practice.
