While debugging my coworker's code in order to fix spell checking I stumbled upon this method:
private void highlightMisspeledWords() {
what an irony.
Intentional?
I think it's a fundamental law of the universe (the Law of Irony?), that whenever someone is talking about spelling / grammar they will make an error with spelling or grammar.
Particularly when you are correcting someone else, although I suppose it still applies in this kind of situation.

It has to be. It's too great to be an accident.
Every time I am obnoxious enough to correct misspelings, I always intentionally misspell 'misspell'. I don't know why. Maybe to not seem such a jerk ;)
So I would say this was intentional.

"My stretegy as follows, I send browser text to a Spell Checking Engin. raises MissSpelledFound event..."
I personally prefer Miss Wet T-Shirt.. guess Zeeshan Shakeel begs to differ.
I think the recommended method is to make a spelling mistake when correcting grammar (a good one is to misspell it "grammer"), and a grammatical mistake when correcting spelling.
Then the cycle can continue :)
...exists for this sort of thing.
