Re: [orca-list] misspelled indicator

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

My experience with NVDA is that you only hear misspellings in input text 
areas, I.e. in circumstances where you're likely already editing said 
text. I don't even think Gecko and other apps *report* spelling errors 
in non-input text as that'd be a huge performance hit for little gain.
