The actual 'value' of the constant ConditionUnderlineIndicatorAppearance.WAVY is 1937208953, the one of UIColors.RED is 1767007588 (values directly taken from http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs6js/pe_ConditionUnderlineIndicatorAppearance.html and http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs6js/pe_UIColors.html). Under no normal circumstances ought these values be the same.In addition, you are testing "if apples are sad then the sky is rich" to check for mis-spelled words:1. Conditions themselves have nothing to do with mis-spelled words.2. The way conditions are shown on screen -- wavy, dashed, or solid -- have nothing to do with mis-spelled words.3. The interface color "Red" has nothing to do with mis-spelled words.You seem to be assuming there is a relation. The fact that both conditions and mis-spelled words may be marked on screen by a red, wavy underline means nothing at all.The only way I can think of "spell checking via script" is to use a live preflight check, and parse the results of that.
