Integrated spell-checker improvements.
I really want the spell-checker to detect grammatical errors like Microsoft Office does (wavy green underlined text).]It also needs to include more words, sometimes I type words that does exist but it doesn't detect it and show it wavy red underlined.
There's also a problem with word formed by two words: e.g. when I write a word like "superdog", between the options there's "super-dog" and "super dog" so I don't really know the correct form (maybe the correct form is really superdog - the word does exists!).
I don't think you really want to see Opera do grammatical checking. Considering you mentioned it, you likely have office installed, so try this... find all the files that it uses for spell/grammar checking... I bet you they are at least twice the size of Opera.
Likewise for "more words", 99% of the time those more words don't matter, when you come across one that you know should be in there but isn't, click "Add Word". Increasing the dictionary is a little more doable though, since you can add about 50 words per kb.
Super-dog, would be a dog, that in some way is superior to other dogs, "Super-dog saves boy from fire".
Super Dog, would be a dog that <i>you</i> really like, "He really is a super dog", could also be the name of the super-dog, "Super Dog the super-dog saves boy from fire"...
But there isn't really a "proper" way, it's up to the writer.

What would be nice is to have synonyms suggestion on words like Word does.
Like lets say I write:
Hat
Then synonyms suggestion:
Cap
Fedora
panama
sun-hat

Some important fixes are required before the inline spell-check is as good as Aspell was.
- Include checking for words containing proper apostrophes, like “can’t”
- Make the error context menu shorter so that the suggestion is right next to the error to reduce inefficient mouse movement to make corrections
- Add a dialogue option with the error shown in context, just like OpenOffice Writer

Superdog was a terrible example...
"everytime". Is it "everytime"? Is it "every time"? or Is it every-time?
lol... bit of a hijack... but it's still pretty much up to the writer which one they want to use. Personally I use "every time", pretty much every time.
Another example would be "anyway", where I use them like:
"After all i tried, it happened anyways"
"Any way you look at it, it's still happening"
"I don't give a s**t what you do anyway"
"You can go any way you want"
Basically merge them when either it's at the end and sort of trails off, or in the middle if it's generic... separated when it's more specific, or is an actual "way".
