Native speakers perhaps generally do less mistakes (...or?). My general attitude is I, and everyone else, should learn how to spell and type. But I also know mistakes happen just the same and I don't want to send posts with that kind of mistakes if that can be avoided, that would be disrespectful. So it is a conflict there which ispell won. I wonder though if ispell "conserves" mistakes and typos that you habitually do, because you subconsciously (...correctly spelled?) - you are too relaxed because you know ispell is there to help you. If so, still, I think ispell does this less than flyspell because then you are in the middle of typing so you want minimal time spent thinking about what word went wrong and why, so perhaps you can type it correct the next time it comes up. In general I'm happy with ispell, I only think the dictionary should be much wider in scope. -- underground experts united
