#Question: does #Mastodon have a spell checker? If not, would a spellchecker improve #Mastodon?

@Bodling I have so many typing errors and missteps in my toots I wonder what the answer would be then?
@bibliolater I guess my practice is just to correct it when I see it. Sometimes that happens before I press the "send" button, which is nice.
Other times it's not until someone responds and I see my typo, which I wince at.
But I also know that what I'm writing here is not important and that I have no reputation to manage or protect, so I try to go easy on myself, which is hard.

@bibliolater No, this is a safe space. Spell checkers are to judgmental.
(while this shouldnt need to be said.... this is a joke)
@freemo Is the safe space for repeated orthographic miscreants?
@bibliolater Yes, but only if they are orthographic in the sense of being dimensionally compressed :)
@freemo I thought that would only be the case if the toot was a form of parallel projection and orthogonal to the projection plane.
@bibliolater I don't use spells. Not interested in anybody who uses. 😉
@Lupposofi In the real world outside of Mastodon I have a 'spellin buk' to aid me.
@bibliolater wouldn't improve it for me. Too many different languages, abbreviations, dialects, and bits of oddments. I feel like I'd always be uncorrecting the spell check.
