Linux thinks "linux" is not a word

  Spell check also looks for capitalization in most cases. “linux” isn’t technically correct, “Linux” is.

    What bugs me about this is that your text editor is not "fedora/gnome/whatever" or "FUCKING LINUX" it's just the text editor that came bundled with whatever distro of FUCKING LINUX you're using. IIRC mine didn't even come with a spell check dictionary.

    I guess it would fall under "whatever" but, eh, not in that context.

      Nah come on. Fedora and Gnome have to be aware to be very big Linux related projects and of course both have a responsibility for the default applications they ship; i.e. it shouldn’t be malware and neither should it be shit. The Linux desktop community has to pick up users where there are if this all is supposed to be actually used. As is „users“.

  I Guess it should be capitalized, but still.

  You have the answer to your problem in your own post. So what exactly do you expect to happen here?

  Because you didn’t capitalize it. It’s a noun.

  • wander1236@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Proper noun

      I logically know you meant this as in a noun that refers to a specific person, place, or thing.

      But I’m just reading as a British person excited about a noun. “Proper fucking noun, innit”

  ios is underlined because it is grammar checked to iOS. I think capitalization matters to autocorrect.

  Ps. Posted on iOS not android

  Pps. Android is not spellchecked when lowercase but iOS is?? ios android

  Ppps. Why is Ps allowed but not Pps?

  Pppps. This is getting ridiculous.

  Ppppps. Haha I said pp

  Pppppps. This is the last one unless someone comments something that makes me want to edit this comment

    “android” is a word outside of being a proper noun.

    You put “I’m” instead of “in” in the last one, looks like you need another.

  Linux kernel doesn’t include a spell checking dictionary soooooo Linux doesn’t worry about whether things are words. Your particular spellchecker doesn’t seem to think linux is a word but “aspells dict on my machine doesn’t consider linux a word” sounds a lot dumber (because it is pretty dumb)

  “dosen’t” “belive”

  But lowercase “linux” marked as wrongly spelled is a problem. Priorities.
