- I use the ispell in emacs for all my spelling checks. What I don't like about
- it is that very often I have managed to spell the word in question
- so wrong that emacs comes up with no replacement words.
-
- Is there a better spelling checker for emacs or can the present ispell be
- adapted such that if it find no replacements then it widens its search for
- applicable words?
-
- Also while on the subject, how do you end a ispell session in flight.
- nothing seems to work
-
- Cheers
