Evan,
Sometimes I spell a word wrong even though it's not misspelled. It would be nice to be able to identify these errors as possible misspellings. Examples: I often type fro when I want for, and pallet when I want palette. So maybe a user definable "Questionable Spelling" function would help.

Well, you could maybe created an Omitted Words file with all of the words such as the above, and Spell Catcher will always flag them as errors. But that's probably a suboptimal solution, as Omitted Words are also never offered as suggestions.
Really, this is in the realm of grammar checking, not so much spell checking. But if you have any ideas on how such a feature should work in Spell Catcher, by all means post them!

I'll give your omitted words idea a try and report back. As for how this might work: If the user could define whatever words they choose as questionable, then once those words are typed SCX's interactive checking could give an audible alert "Questionable." I my case I would define fro as questionable since it's rarely the word I want to use. When I type fro I would get the alert and know I had to change fro to make it for.

Just checking in - this does work for you as described, correct? If it's not an adequate solution for your problem, by all means tell us why.

The omitted words solution works well enough for my needs. Thanks.
