I realize that this may (or may not) be a problem with aspell, but maybe it would be possible for the plugin to replace those characters before passing them on to aspell?

Lee said: Chris, it was already lang=en

According to the error you provided, it’s set to en_US:

"Error executing /usr/bin/aspell -a --lang=en_US ..."

As Chris said, try en or english.

I’ve been finding that using WP2 and this spell check plugin, that the spell checker picks up all the HTML tags in the post and asks if they are spelled correctly etc.

Is there a way to make it so that HTML tags are not checked?
