--- Comment #33 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
This is a fairly minimal problem, because if the user doesn't like having words
marked as misspelled because of a comment in the middle, they can simply not
add mid-word comments.

It is a bit of a catch-22. It would take a LOT of effort to avoid deleting the
comment when a misspelled word is fixed (comment 25), so it would seem the best
and safest approach would just be to ignore any such words. (But perhaps
already solved for similar situations like track-change-deleted-stuff and
hidden-text?)

On the other hand, if the word truly is misspelled, then the user is going to
be upset that it isn't red-squigglied.

Perhaps the best approach would be:
-strip the comment marker out of the word before submitting to spell checker
-offer zero replacement choices (to avoid deleting the comment) forcing the
user to fix manually.

Bug 66043 sounds so similar that I am surprised that it didn't fix this too.
Bug 74177 also has some common elements.
