You're right: I stand corrected. Of course, I *know* about that feature...
so shucks, I feel a bit silly.
On the other hand, I could quibble about the "auto-detection" capabilities
(I believe this is based on keyboards). Tagging text manually is not
entirely convenient... but the feature *is* there. Perhaps if I had picked
on someone else the example would have made more sense: gentle readers, ask
yourself if your application can do this trick at even the document level...

It does. I typed the sentence (drawn from another mailing list)
I admit that I am not au fait with U.S. clothing terminology.

and
ran a spelling check. All was well.
