Was mir seit der Neuinstallation von #Arch #Linux partout nicht gelingen will, ist #vim zum #spellcheck in #Deutsch zu überreden.

Meine .vimrc ist unverändert, so wie es in der alten Installation funktioniert hat. Warum es jetzt nicht mehr will, finde ich einfach nicht heraus.

Bin für Ideen offen. Danke 👍

“There’s not a single word about ‘permission’ in that statement, and no sign that Grammarly is walking back the idea. It sounds like the company fully intends to keep pretending real human beings are behind its edits, just with ‘greater control’.”

More in #spellcheck wonders.

Misspelled word: "porvde"

Correct word: "provide"

Spellcheck only suggestion: "deportee"

Again, I wish one could remove words from the #spellcheck dictionary in Kate text editor, not just add them. If I type "wether," it's either a typo for "whether" or "weather."

A "wether" is "a castrated goat/ram," a word I assure you I'm never talking about. The spellchecker won't flag it.

If #AI is so wonderful why can't #spellcheck tell the context a word is being used in ?
