I truly love the spell-checker, so please don't mind when I remark to minor issues:
- Numbers always fail the checker, at least when they have 3 or more digits (like 1234). So strings of decimal digits should probably be excluded from spell-checking.
- A word enclosed in double quotes is treated correctly, like "usage", while a word enclosed in single quotes usually gives an alert, like 'usage'.

Handling of " is done by the spell checking library, so ' handling is not easy (or even possible) to implement effeciently. The checking for numbers falls unders the same category, since it'll require that every word be checked to determine if it is an integer or not.
I will review the code, but I do not believe this is something that can be implemented effeciently.
