First, let me admit that the main reason I'm doing my project in Cocoa
was because of the convenient access to the system spell checker in the
editfield. What I did not plan on was that the system spell checker
would by default ignore all words with less than 4 letters (I think
that's what it is). That's not good at all, and after searching the
class headers and list archives, I've found no way to turn that
"feature" off. Does anyone know how?
I've noticed this also, and there's no known way to turn it off. But
there's a certain logic to it: One letter "words" are not words. Two
letter words are usually either easy words that are easy to spell and
hard to mistype, or they're acronyms. Same for three letter words. Of
course, this doesn't always apply, but I don't think there's any way to
turn it off.
