           Summary: Nonprinting Characters and AutoSpellcheck tooltips
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: Inherited From OOo

I have already posted this to the l10n mailing list <
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/msg07875.html > and sophi
suggested i put a bug report CCing Timar.

-- text from mailing list --

I came across the tooltip 'Nonprinting Characters' in Writer and i think it
should be changes to 'Non-printing Characters' or 'Non-printable Characters',
as nonprinting is not a valid english word, even in libreoffice's spellcheck.
:)

Also came across the tooltip 'AutoSpellcheck' and think it should be changed to
'Auto Spellcheck' or 'Automatic Spellcheck'.

I'm mentioning this in the mailing list as i didnt see any means to make
suggestions for english (US) in the translation website.

----------------------------

As a comparison here is how other office suites have nonprinting chracters
Word 2013 : Show/Hide ΒΆ - Show paragraph marks and other hidden formatting
symbols
Kingsoft Writer : Show/Hide Editing Marks

Tom Davies suggested using 'spell-check' over 'spellcheck' and according to the
dictionary, that would be more accurate, but i think an even better suggestion
would be 'Automatically Check Spelling' or 'Automatic Spell Checking'
