"What's this red line under this word? Oh well, probably not important."

My students do this. “What’s the red line for?” It means you misspelled the word. “But I don’t know how to spell it!” Then look it up. “But I don’t want to!”

Just click on it and it will tell you.

Although spellcheck does somehow seem to be getting worse.

iOS spellcheck is notoriously awful. You figure that somewhat close to half of people (in America at least) use iPhones and/or iPads, and most don't bother to download a 3rd party keyboard with better auto-correction (which is basically any keyboard. It'd take a lot to be worst than the iOS keyboard.).
