I just noticed something which is puzzling me:
When I have Automatic checking turned on, and I type certain
non-dictionary/non-English words, they are underlined in red. All well
and good.
However, some words are underlined with a zig-zag/triangular line, but
others are underlined with an up-and-down/rectangular line.
For example, the words "eh", "si", and "ti" all have this property, whereas
the words "zz", "flobble" and "someting" are given the normal triangular
underline.
I'm just wondering what exactly the difference is according to The
Bat!'s spellchecking system. It just so happens that the three words
I've given are the reversed of three good English words[1] (He, is and
it) - is this all there is to it? The difference between a suspected
mis-spelling caused by two swapped letters rather that by
missing/extra/wrong letters? Why is the difference sufficiently
important to give a different (albeit quite subtle) visual cue?
[1] I see that "Teh" also does this, but "Somehting" doesn't. Both
only have one replacement.
