Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs If I type "esse ,sum ,fui ,-" instead of "esse, sum, fui, - " (have a look at the commas) then the vocable is wrong. Or if a " " isn't right it is wrong, too. Please add an option for disabling that strict spell checking.
This is not really spell checking, but I agree with the wish, commas and spaces should be treated less strict.
There is a duplicate of this wish: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331509

We are adding an option "ignore punctuation" which will be similar to "ignore capitalization". This will probably give you what you are after, right?
Yes, exactly, thanks :-)
Could you also add "ignore whitespace"? And thanks for the punctuation. I can't wait to use that option :-)
I don't think we need an "ignore whitespace" option. Whitespace differences should always be ignored. I will treat that as a bug if it doesn't.
Whitespace differences are not ignored at the moment. Should I file a separate bug? I assume you are talking about differences in the amount of whitespace + ignoring all whitespace at the beginning and the end of the string. I completely agree that that should be done automatically. But what about the change between there being some whitespace and there not being any? Possible uses for ignoring it: - learners of English: make "spell checker" and "spellchecker" equivalent (with the danger that all kinds of runtogether words will also be accepted as correct), - to quote Jan's example from above, make "esse ,sum ,fui ,-" equivalent to "esse,sum,fui,-" without any spaces.
yes, that's what I'm talking about. I also think that punctuation == whitespace if it's ignored, and that whitespace/no whitespace is significant. So 'esse ,sum' = 'esse, sum' and 'esse sum' = 'esse sum' but 'esse sum' != 'essesum'
