Why is the Shroomery spell checker so bad?

Why is the Shroomery spell checker so bad?. It underlines words that are correct, and tries to put spaces between syllables. I understand when it suggests other words with similar spelling.
I realize this website doesn't have a real big budget, but you look at other technologies like voice recognition that have progressed tremendously. And these features tend to become better and cheaper over time.
Perhaps Dan Quayle is the volunteer spell check advisor.
Just wondering. I just lurk in this forum because the technical knowledge of the posters is quite a bit beyond me.

Our spell checker uses aspell, with the standard en-us dictionary and a customized wordlist. It should work pretty similar to a lot of other open-source spell checkers which are also based on aspell. Can you provide some examples of where it falls short, please? It may be something we can fix.

Hang out in the pub ythan, that would be refreshing. Intresteing post none the less.
I never use spell check. iPads have it automatically.
But ythan, when I try to upload my PGP private key for PM's, it doesn't let IPads upload the file... It just links to photos.. So I need to create a new key pair every time time it asks to upload private key.

I'm afraid we may not be able to do anything about the problem with uploading your private key from your iPad. That's an iOS limitation and we can't fix it on our end. You could try a different browser like Opera or Chrome, but I don't have any Apple devices to test with so I can't say for sure if it would work or not. We should probably make a note that some secure PM functionality may not work on iOS devices. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience!

Not a huge problem, thank you for the response though
Great to know I'll give it a try

When attempting to recreate some of these problems I started out drawing a blank and was ready to attribute my claim to being high (alcohol late and ambien the next morning).
I just found a problem with the word recalibrate. The spell check says this word is not in the dictionary and suggests re calibrate and re-calibrate. I will see what else I find, but unless quite a bit turns up, I would say I overstated the problem.
