As a learner, you may see text in your course underlined with a red dotted line. This is because spell check and/or autocorrect are enabled by default in your internet browser or computer's operating system. If you don't want to see words underlined, you will need to customise your spell check and autocorrect functions.
Words that become underlined are specific to your browser's built-in spell check. For example, in the task below Google Chrome's spell check has underlined eight words in te reo Māori.
The same task in Safari has one word underlined.
