I love flyspell and use it all the time This is why there are options, to suit a wide range of preferences and needs. Personally, I don't use flyspell (or the equivalent in any other text input system, including LibreOffice). I mostly write fiction and don't want distractions--- spell-checking somewhere down the line is more than good enough. But that's me, and that's my style. Emacs certainly is more than big enough to accommodate all sorts of styles. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i Via Linux/Emacs/Gnus/BBDB.
