Spellchecker see distros spelt wrong


Would there be a way to add the linux distributions to the spell checker? I like to use the spell checker to make sure my posts are readable and it finds, like for instance slackware to be spelled wrong?

Also it would be great if you could select which version of the language you speak. It's annoying to see people being accused of bad spelling, when in fact they simply speak UK (UK, New Zealand, Australia etc etc) english rather than "American". We are not all american.

The LQ spellchecker should really be seen as a fallback. Spellbound will allow you to choose your language, add custom words and have *much* more control in general.

distros isn't even a "real word."
