Indeed. An IDE should help you write code, not text. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Liu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 28 mars 2002 09:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Eap-list] Spell checking comments and strings
+10! No spell checker! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Patrick M.

I totally agree with Thomas - if you need a spell checker to write comments you should probably go back to high school and take some English lessons. Regards, Patrick M.

I would prefer German, but other guys would prefer English, US-English, Spanish, French, Russian or what ever. Do you think, that IntelliJ should support them all? To not offend some users, they shouldn't waste time with ANY spell checker. If one can't write comments without a spell checker, I believe, (s)he should not write them at all. Or ()he should begin to reread her/his comments before committing the files. Tom At 17:01 27.03.2002 -0500, you wrote: >Spell checking is not word processing.
