So we'll be using chequered as the correct spelling, but this will not likely be bot-enforced. It will not be added SpellBot. "Checkers" and "checkered" are used in valid sources, are in story titles and potentially other titles, and as we said, "checker" can mean something totally different to the game and/or pattern, as at Brenda, which should not be corrected to "supermarket chequer" (though should probably be changed to "cashier", because checker in that sense is a US expression).

When this discussion concludes, if there is no objection, I will add this to T:SPELL DISCUSS. I'll invite you to look at the discussions linked there, and Tardis:What_SpellBot_actually_corrects, if you want to get a sense of how we've decided on these things before, and what the considerations are.
