Just a silliness but you would think that a spell checker built into the authoring software for any blog system would know how to spell words like blog and blogging right? Doh, not WordPress’ spell checker. I’m already fed up of seeing those words underlined in red.

More seriously, blogging often involves building communities around specialized topics. Those communities are likely to use specialized words and terms. So specialized dictionaries and word packs, etc. or at least easily user extensible dictionaries seem like a natural. No WordPress can’t even add user defined words. I’m off to look at plug-in dictionaries, any suggestions?

I wonder what Movable Type does? I know I’ll go look for it on their web site, oops I can’t seen any mention of this in a quick look, I know I’ll search their site, uh exactly where is the search box… oh no they have to be joking, another Movable Type barrier to adoption.
