Re: Bug#2425: ispell thinks `formated' is correct



Well, it thinks wont is a good word also. This common misspelling of the 
the contraction of will not yields the old english meaning 'having the 
tendency' as in "He was wont to get drunk of a Saturday". Fro, the common 
twist of the word for, will also normally be passed as correct.
The only spell checking that I have seen that comes at all close to 
working is supplied by Grammatic. By using the grammatical structure of 
the sentence as the context for spell checking it finds both of the above 
examples and would probably succeed on your word also. All other spell 
checkers fail as proof readers and as a result, often fail as spell 
checkers, giving a false sense of security.
