Except that 'spelling' is a bounded problem. There aren't going to be more words in the dictionary, at least not orders more, any time soon. 'Scaling as the word list grows' is meaningless. So the only definition of 'faster' that matters is the one they used.

That's a rather "English only" view on the topic. Spelling is not a bounded problem in every language.

Some power languages (Dutch, German) have an infinite number of words, as you can take 2 nouns (fe a and b) and concatenate them to form a new one (ab means something else than ba). Some languages also have inflection....
