That's a terrible excuse not to talk to someone, I don't think I'd be talking to most people for more than a few messages if I did that. Also not everyone has spell check in their Lemmy Interface so there might not have been a red squiggle or maybe the user assumed that because it's a very uncommon word it might not be in the dictionary.
I don't see how that can be true, unless someone is using some sort of text-only, Unix-style browser. All modern browsers will load the rich-text-enabled text entry box, unless you go far out of your way to defeat that feature. I tested the word in the text entry box, and it came up as misspelled. You shouldn't go to great lengths to disable a spellcheck feature, unless you have ABSOLUTELY PERFECT SPELLING.
If you do, and then you misspell some shit, that is the perfect definition of living in a glass house and chucking rocks. You deserve what's coming to you, if you do it.
Firefox on windows doesn't have spellcheck for me (Linux had it by default) and even if it did the interface has to specify that it want's to use it. The phone app I use also doesn't use a spellchecker.
