I find this outrageous. It also applies to the text of all of my employer' emails (at least those managed in the mentioned web browser), according to a prompt (with no option to reject, IIRC) I read the other day.

Edit: sorry I should have captured that prompt! I am not able to remember what it said, it might have been from the company rather than the browser.

Yeah I'm going to need a source on that one, as far as I know spellcheck only sends individual words not entire emails.

Thanks for improving my knowledge on how spellcheck works. Still, should I assume that a list of words cannot be kept? It sound to me like a naive assumption in the current landscape.

That’s the Standard spell checker. The Extended spell checker — optional and tells you it sends text to Google/Microsoft — is the one mentioned here.

You can just switch to the normal spell checker which is entirely offline and works off a word list.
