strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR

Red squiggly lines are for misspelt words like the one in this sentence.



Blue squiggly lines are for contextual spelling errors. There word by
itself isn't misspelled; it is just the wrong spelling for the context
(e.g., He was too week to lift the box).

A red squiggly underline indicates a misspelled word. The blue
squiggly underline indicates a correctly spelled word used in the
wrong context, i.e., their instead of there.
