a) The target document is in English (USA). b) The target document is in my first language. c) I am using the spell check built into LibreOffice 5 and I also sometimes use GNU Aspell. d) I haven't made any modifications yet. There are some technical proper nouns that get tagged as misspelled, but I don't even tell the checker that the word is spelled right beyond a local scope if possible. If not possible I just ignore the flag. What upstream project does the grammar checking come from? -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
