Sigs shouldn't be spell checked -- and spell checker shouldn't flag ordinals

Frustratingly, the spell checker insists on spell checking my signature. It always finds an error, because my office is on the 16th floor, and it flags "16th" as a misspelling.

Two solutions:

1.The class moz-signature should suppress spell checking.

2. Ordinal numbers 1st, 2nd, etc. shouldn't be flagged as errors anywhere.

the bug was reported 18 years ago. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223440

So I guess a fast fix will not be happening. Although the last comment indicates that it has "fixed itself"

Seems to have somewhere unfixed itself. Or maybe it's bc my sig doesn't have "---" while the commenters did. Or there's a difference between the Windows (32) build that I'm using and the commenter's (Linux), though I imagine that's unlikely.

It's tough finding a good email client in an Outlook and webmail-centric world...
