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?

The easiest thing would be to wait for the next major release of the system. However, you should be aware that the spell checking functionality allows any number of third-party spellcheckers to be installed, and there are some available already based on open-source projects like ispell. Try searching for them.
