   After I use Spellcheck: it doesn't go away, the haze kind of thing remains
   over my post even after I click on each word. Can't find any relevant in SEARCH.

   So far I'v clicked on ABC button again --it just starts up again;
   click on HTML version to get rid of it, but that doesn't always work:
   How to turn off Spellcheck?
   Is there an "off" button my Dashboard is missing?
   Can I publish with Spellcheck still on?

   Dictionary: seems antiquated -very common words are missing/considered
   "mispelled" --Spellcheck doesn't recognize two-word city names,
   common Internet words, i.e., blog --blogging --google, many others.
   Will WP be up-dating dictionary?
   Or adding: "add to dictionary" to make it custom, like in WORD?

   If it matters I'm on: winXP/IE6

   Thanks

   Please try waiting for the page to load completely before you click the proofreading (spellchecking) icon.

   You can go to Users > Personal Settings on your dashboard and change settings under "Proofreading". You can add phrases to "Ignored Phrases" if you don't want them checked.
