  After I use Spellcheck: it doesn’t go away, the haze kind of thing remains
  over my post even after I click on each word. Can’t find any relevant in SEARCH.

  So far I’v clicked on ABC button again –it just starts up again;
  click on HTML version to get rid of it, but that doesn’t always work:
  How to turn off Spellcheck?
  Is there an “off” button my Dashboard is missing?
  Can I publish with Spellcheck still on?

  Dictionary: seems antiquated -very common words are missing/considered
  “mispelled” –Spellcheck doesn’t recognize two-word city names,
  common Internet words, i.e., blog –blogging –google, many others.
  Will WP be up-dating dictionary?
  Or adding: “add to dictionary” to make it custom, like in WORD?

  If it matters I’m on: winXP/IE6

  Thanks

  Please try waiting for the page to load completely before you click the proofreading (spellchecking) icon.

  You can go to Users > Personal Settings on your dashboard and change settings under “Proofreading”. You can add phrases to “Ignored Phrases” if you don’t want them checked.
