I'm using Firefox with this Spell Checker https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/united-states-english-spellche/

It proposes to write Up vote instead of upvote and similar with many other prefixes.

Are there Spell Checkers for Firefox which work correct.

BTW I posed this question on the beta site meta.german and there it was closed as off topic and proposed to ask it here.

If you need to have upvote as a possibility you could add it to the English.dic file which is used by the application.

I stand corrected. +1 for you :-) Was my answer any use? – slotishtype Jun 3 '11 at 12:36
I didn't try it yet. First I have to find out the correct spelling. And I guess there are different Spell Checker for Firefox. I'll wait a bit, before trying to modify one myself. What happens in case of updates etc. – bernd_k Jun 3 '11 at 12:41
+1 OK I found the files and noted that they are ASCII files. A link explaning the file format would be great. – bernd_k Jun 3 '11 at 16:24
@bernd_k forget the english.aff file that is the affix file. The english.dic is the dictionary file. So, add "upvote" to that file should update the spellchecker. I updated my post to reflect this. – slotishtype Jun 3 '11 at 16:35
