1. A method of enabling management of a spell check function on a handheld electronic device, the spell check function comprising a plurality of spell check algorithms stored on the handheld electronic device for execution thereon when subjecting text entries to the spell check function, the method comprising:

  • executing at least some of the algorithms with respect to each of a plurality of text inputs to generate proposed spell check interpretations of the text inputs;

    outputting at least some of the proposed spell check interpretations;

    detecting selection inputs with respect to at least some of the proposed spell check interpretations that are output;

    determining that an accumulated quantity of selection inputs that were made with respect to proposed spell check interpretations that were generated by a particular spell check algorithm meet a number of predetermined usage criteria; and

    responsive to said determining, and with respect to subsequent text inputs;

    applying a preference to proposed spell check interpretations generated by the particular algorithm, andemploying the preference in said outputting.
