I was
simply responding to a couple of answers that were specifically aimed at people
who have trouble spelling. They were made to offend and flame the discussion
(and it worked too) and I wanted to give a response that should hopefully
educate those who feel that people with a less than perfect grasp of English
should become refuge collectors or any other job that doesn't require spelling.
I also feel that people shouldn't go out of their way to offend and then there
won't be a need for a 'pc' list as you suggested. Fair enough some people don't
need a spell checker and I am glad the list can create a discussion about such a
feature but the offensive comments do get taken to heart and demand a suitable
response.

You shouldn't use the Lords name in vain.... ;-) (That was a joke by the
way Tim!!)

Oh for
god's sake lighten up and stop taking this discussion to
heart!
Perhaps we need a new "politically correct" list for all answers to
suggestions that may offend people.
The
questions remains whether a spell checker should be incorporated into
IDEA.
I
would suspect that the vast majority of users of the product would not want this
feature.
+10 to
no spell checker in IDEA.
Cheers
Tim
