"Add to AutoCorrect" is clearer and more accurate than "Always Correct."
(Pressing that button doesn't "always correct" the misspelling when AutoCorrect
is turned off or when you're spellchecking a document that's already been
typed. It just adds the correction pair to the AutoCorrect table.) I've been
using word processors since WordStar for DOS and it took me an *unreasonably*
long time  to figure out what the "Always Correct" button was actually doing.
If display space is a serious issue, "AutoCorrect" would be okay in a pinch,
but "Add to AutoCorrect" is more explicit and won't leave anyone scratching
their head.

I appreciate your work on this, Heiko, and I'm sure other users who haven't yet
figured out what "Always Correct" actually does will appreciate it even more!

PS: I was actually the Peter CM who filed this bug, and I misspoke in my
initial post when I said I was using OpenOffice. It was definitely LibreOffice,
since I haven't used OpenOffice since 2008. I tried to correct my mistake, but
I seem to recall LibreOffice's bug reporting moved from FreeDesktop.org to
DocumentFoundation.org at around that time. I got locked out of my old account
and couldn't create a new one using the same email address. By the time I
figured out a workaround for creating a new account, I had forgotten the need
to follow up on my OpenOffice misstatement. I apologize for any confusion and
wasted time that might have caused.
