Admittedly, spell check is a useful function but i have a few issues with it.
First a minor one: it often marks some completely legitimate words (starling, bedmate, playmaker and even epigraph just come to mind).
The second is quite annoying: in the code view, if i try to paste something next to a marked word, it just deletes the word and substitutes whatever I try to paste.So i have to leave a space next to the culprit and delete the space after pasting. In a book containing many outlandish names it becomes quite time and energy consuming. I would very much like this feature of automatic substitution to disappear or at least an option to turn it off.I would be very grateful if somebody has a solution for this problem.
