Broken: Blogger spellcheck

BloggerbrokenAlex Yoder writes:

I was recently writing a post for my weather blog when I came to the end to check my spelling. The very first thing that they said was spelled wrong was BLOG. Wouldn't you think a Blog site would have the word blog correct on their spell check? I attached a screenshot.

[Note: this submission came in a few months back, so let me know if Blogger has fixed this in the meantime. -mh]

Yes, this still happens. Also, Livejournal's spell check still complains about "Livejournal".

And the "add" button is useless, too, BTW.

Yes, it still happens. Also, Blogger would ask about "Blogger", just as A Fellow MH mentioned about LiveJournal.

However, I have found that the "learn" button DOES help.

simple solution: customize your software.

Chequer is right in Britain, isn't it? Don't they have an Office of the Executive Chequer or something? But in America, it's a spel czecher.

Actually some sites can use Your Dictionary File from Microsoft Office as the default dictionary file.
