Steps to reproduce:

The Thunderbird spell checker highlights everything it doesn’t know (and which may or may not be correct) as “misspelled word: xxxx”

This always implies misspelling by the user and can be irritating.

I would therefore find it an improvement if the prompt were “unknown word: xxxx” instead.
