Word processors have long been able to check spelling as a special pass over the whole document, but the feature really came into its own with "check as you type". So useful is this feature (and so well within the capabilities of modern computers) that we now find it in other text-handling applications such as mailers and web browsers. Mac OS offers it on all text components for no extra programming effort. Programs that don't check what you're typing as you type it are becoming increasingly annoying and the surprising number of programs that won't check your spelling at all are even worse.Despite this, the editors and other tools used by programmers are least likely to offer spelling checking. This article looks at why this is, and describes the addition of spelling checking to a programmer's editor.
