Proofreading support for the HTML Editor

When we announced After the Deadline, the proofreading tool used on WordPress.com, many of you asked us to add proofreading to the HTML Editor.

You can learn more about the proofreading feature on our support page.

For self-hosted blogs, the After the Deadline WordPress.org plugin has this new feature as well.
