    macOS has had system-wide spell checking since 2009.

    Windows 10 has spell check, as does Windows 11. In Windows 11 it's
    Settings/Time and Language/Typing. It works in Notepad. Not sure why
    Notepad needs its own.

    You can't imagine when an app to take notes...

    ...in ENGLISH (or whatever language the user requires)...

    ...would need a spell chacker.

    The whole point is that to date, Notepad hasn't been able to USE the
    system wide spellchecker, Liarboy.

    In my defense I don't think I ever used Notepad to create a document.
    I did use Wordpad a few times and it did spellcheck. I also used
    Notepad to view text documents and never needed spellcheck for those.

    BTW, what's a spell chacker? (I note that chacker is a spelling error
    caught by the MS system-wide spellcheck and highlighted in
    Thunderbird. Did your beloved Mac not catch that? LOL at you Liarboy)


    Actually it DID catch "chacker".

    I failed to catch that it had caught it.
