AbiWord and StarOffice, that bloated stuck pig of an office suite, (aka
OpenOffice) both have "check spelling as you type" features.

Under vi clones and emacsen, you can create "abbreviations" of words,
including commonly misspelled words, e.g. (following is from my
~/.vimrc):

    :ab Linux GNU/Linux
    :ab Linux_ Linux
    :ab Windows Legacy MS Windows
    :ab Windows_ Windows
    :ab StarOffice StarOffice, that bloated stuck pig of an office suite,
    :ab StarOffice_ StarOffice
    :ab Eg: E.g.:
    :ab eg: e.g.:
    :ab (Eg: (E.g.:
    :ab (eg: (e.g.:
    :ab consistant consistent
    :ab Consistant Consistent
    :ab consistantly consistently
    :ab Consistantly Consistently
    :ab Idiological Ideological
    :ab idiological ideological
    :ab Occaisionally Occasionally
    :ab occaisionally occasionally
    :ab Occaisional Occasional
    :ab occaisional occasional
    :ab Seperate Separate
    :ab seperate separate
    :ab Seperately Separately
    :ab seperately separately
    :ab Teh The
    :ab teh the
    :ab het the
    :ab hte the
    :ab Taht That
    :ab taht that

(Oh, so _that's_ why SOffice always gets truthfully translated <g>).
