Hi,
Whilst writing a text today, making a lot of typos, I realized that an
update for the underlining functionality would be a good idea:
It would be a nice feature if the misspelled word wasn't just
underlined, but the difference to the nearest word from the dictionary
was marked (maybe different colour underlining or different style).
What is the general thought on that?

My thought is that underlining is sufficient. An article in the
Sunday NY Times (5 August) entitled "Auto Crrect Ths" examines
reasons that this would be a bad idea. If the writer is unsure of
the word or its spelling, he can always go to Artha and look it
up. (Artha offers various suggestions if the word is misspelled.)
The Times article is available at:
