Hi :)
+1
Nice catch!

I guess we often don't notice these things because they have become part of
our "technical language".  However, i agree that people who don't spend all
day using these tools probably think it looks clunky and it's probably
difficult to translate into some languages, unless people have assumed it
was already the way you suggest.  (Btw I think that is one reason that MTs
probably wont catch-up with human translators.  They can be a good tool
sometimes but too often they get it hilariously wrong where a human can be
more creative)
Regards form

Subject: [libreoffice-l10n] Nonprinting Characters and AutoSpellcheck
tooltips
To: LibreOffice-l10n <l10n@global.libreoffice.org>


Hi All,

I came across the tooltip 'Nonprinting Characters' in Writer and i think
it should be changes to 'Non-printing Characters' or 'Non-printable
Characters', as nonprinting is not a valid english word, even in
libreoffice's spellcheck. :)

Also came across the tooltip 'AutoSpellcheck' and think it should be
changed to 'Auto Spellcheck' or 'Automatic Spellcheck'.

I'm mentioning this in the mailing list as i didnt see any means to make
suggestions for english (US) in the translation website.
