Grammar and spelling analysis

By default, ReSharper checks spelling and grammar using the 'English (USA)' dictionary, but you can install dictionaries for other languages.

note

In addition to general-purpose dictionaries, you can add custom spellchecker dictionaries to extend the list of acceptable words.

By default, spelling and grammar inspections are enabled for almost all contexts. You can enable/disable individual inspections and change their severity levels by searching for typo and grammar on the Code Inspection | Inspection Severity page of ReSharper options Alt+R, O.

If you have methods that are supposed to receive raw text with spelling and grammar errors, you can mark the corresponding parameters with the [IgnoreSpellingAndGrammarErrors] from JetBrains.Annotations. This will disable warnings for callers of the method.

public class Sample
{
    void Out([IgnoreSpellingAndGrammarErrors] string str)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(str);
    }

    void Test()
    {
        // no warnings
        Out("wiht erorrs speld texxt");
    }
}

You can disable grammar and spelling analysis by clearing the Grammar and Spelling checkbox on the Environment | Products & Features page of ReSharper options Alt+R, O.
