"Users of WordPress hosted blogs (WordPress.com) received a new spell checking tool today, by way of parent company Automattic\u2019s acquisition of After the Deadline, a tool that is \u201Cso much better than other checkers I\u2019d used,\u201D says Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg.  \nThe features of After the Deadline \u2013 and now WordPress \u2013 are explained well in the video below, but like other recent Automattic acquisitions (PollDaddy, IntenseDebate, Gravatar), this seems to be all about taking a third-party blogging tool and giving it the scale to become far better than it could be on its own.In the case of After the Deadline, this means \u201Cthe technology is learning from millions of blog posts on WP.com to make the contextual parts of the checker smarter and smarter,\u201D says Mullenweg.  In other words, now that it's part of every WordPress blog, After the Deadline is going to get much smarter, much faster, which should be good for everyone that uses it.  That includes self-hosted WordPress blogs (WordPress.org) too, which can get After the Deadline by installing this plugin.\nTo learn more about After the Deadline and WordPress.com\u2019s new spell checker, watch this demo:\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
