I'm not trying to say I hate open source software, what I'm saying is
that "misspelt" words, in most of the cases I'm seeing, and it doesn't

work the same, the word underlined in "Red". For example Thunderbird and
Outlook do that, and when I click on send and the spell checker then
parses the document, it then offers potential replacements for the
"misspelt" word, for example, offering to replace github with Github, or
if it can't find a replacement the dialog is empty. What would be nice
is if the "misspelt" word was underlined in a different color to
indicate that the word or a replacement doesn't exist in its dictionary.
I'm not saying the spell check functionality needs to be any different,
just that a visual difference between the two would be nice.
Are you saying that you want a difference between words it can find
something similar to and ones that it can't? Do you understand that the
dictionary doesn't have any information about "misspelt" vs. "doesn't
exist"? They are all just not in the list. It only has an algorithm to
try to find something similar in its list of known words and sometimes
what you've written is too far off for it to find anything. What's the
benefit of distinguishing that?
