For the past few days, the Blogger spell checker has been wonky. Some words that are spelled correctly are shown as being misspelled. The list of possible replacements always includes the word that is supposedly incorrect. If you replace the word with same one, exit and re-check spelling, the word is still shown as invalid! If you replace the word with a with different one, it works.
All this nonsense finally forced me to figure out why Iceweasel (unbranded Firefox on Debian) doesn't spell check in text entry fields. Turns out all I needed to do was install a dictionary package! The Iceweasel package only recommends the dictionary packages and since I don't automatically install recommended packages, I was supposed to select a dictionary manually. Oops.
