I do not need WordPress' Spell checker as I have one with my browser. I write about birds and have already "trained" Firefox to recognize those names. Yes, I can "ignore", but would like to skip this step entirely, if possible. There are many options for what you wish the Proofreader to do, but you cannot check or uncheck an option for spelling. Could this please be included?

Thank you.

Any Ideas?

1) Given the error message "There was a problem communicating with the Proofreading service. Try again in one minute."

2) Appeared to work, but as soon as the 2nd or 3rd red-underlined thing is clicked, all the red underlines disappear for the entire post... and one of those times they took a couple of paragraphs with them.

Do you differentiate between American, British, and Canadian English?

Not yet. For now, American, British, and Canadian variations of words are in our dictionary.

However British English words are highlighted in my drafts with the squiggly red line (harbour, realisation and customisation) for example.

Is this what support means by being in the dictionary? Solid red indicating wrong spelling, while other versions of English not wrong, just not right either. Proofreading tool correctly skips over them, it just is a little annoying during the editing process :)

I know iv made a few spelling/grammer mistakes thats why i use it to remove them.

So, is this just a local or do other people have this problem also?

I'll have to come back to this problem another day, but at least there is a workaround. :)

1. WordPress RSS with Full Posts
2. Create your own summary feed at the Google-owned Feedburner (http://www.feedburner.com) by activating 'Summary Burner' and send visitors to this.

Though that's a long fix just to get included in the database. But try doing it the other way with your normal summary RSS and making a Feedburner, see what it does I think it may make a complete RSS.

I'm sorry - I'm one of those annoying yellow quadrant HBDI people - we can't help but want to change anything and everything!

A special feed could be directly over a secure connection between Zemanta and WordPress - that isn't that hard to do - to allow Zemanta to provide their awesome product.

There are times when I feel an intense dislike for internet technology!

I'm going to go do my laundry now. WIll let all this churn in my mind. Outlaw blog scrapers or whatever you called them - problem solved!

The word "private" is a misnomer in this case. It doesn't exist. It can't.

"Zemanta doesn't rip stuff off. They are an awesome team producing an awesome and useful product" - Exactly what I thought!

OK - then let me ask this - if there is no such thing as a private feed, why do Zemanta ask for it?

Are we going to post together again? LOL

Zemanta providing summaries is not going to stop that.

Did I miss something in reading the Zemanta web site? :)) Highly likely, I have to say!

But Zemanta doesn't become active, because it doesn't have enough information, until it has about 200 words of text to analyze. That's why it needs full feeds. And there's no such thing as a Private Feed, really. If it goes to Zemanta, that means blog scrapers can get it. If it exists as a feed, blog scrapers can grab it. It's easy.

It is simply not possible to have a "private" RSS feed, because RSS by definition and engineering is public.

I may be wrong, but I read Zemanta's need for the full feed as being so they can accurately target an audience, NOT to publish the work in full in any way.

After all, they can't get enough information from a summary.

Surely their business model with WordPress would be to protect WordPress' customer interest. No-one would partner with Zemanta if they were going to rip off stuff that easily.

I love you, but you make me laugh so hard sometimes. Like now.

Why would WordPress.com do that? Every business argument they have is for the situation as it stands now. If they provided full feeds to ANY partner, blog scrapers will get them and that eliminates the reason to provide summary feeds in the first place.

It is up to WordPress to provide a private full feed as required by their business partner, while retaining the user functionality as it stands.

I'm prepared to pay for that as an upgrade bundled with the No Ads upgrade. :)

I just went to the Zemanta site (got to learn new stuff) and notice that in order to submit your site to Zemanta you have to provide a full text feed (RSS or Atom) NOT summary feed.

Yet for other reasons, many of us prefer to have our WordPress setting for feeds as summary, not full.

Zemanta goes on to say if we do not want a Full feed for public, we can provide them with a private feed. But how do we do that?

Curiosity will kill the cat, here, I am sure.

Possibly Related Posts is not, ironically, related to Zemanta. They are independent.
