Details

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a web page with a textarea with spelling correction enabled. 2. Type 'Teh' (capital T) 3. A red squiggly line indicates 'Teh' is misspelled. Right-click for spelling suggestions. Expected result: 'The' will be at the top of the suggestion list Actual result: The list of spelling suggestions does not contain 'The'. Notes: This works fine for lower-case 'teh'.

Teh suckage. You need some kind of frequency-based suggestion algorithm to really stamp out these problems. Same issue as Bug 350007, propose to fix in the same hacky way (add The to dictionary).
