Misspelled words are deleted from the text after hitting "remove spelling"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the spellchecker demo page http://spellchecker.jquery.badsyntax.co.uk/
2. Hit "Check Spelling"
3. Hit "Remove Spelling"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of showing the misspelled words without underlines and suggestion 
popups, they are simply deleted from the text. If you hit "check spelling" 
another time, an alert says that no mistakes have been found.

I have just come across this issue as well. Looks like "remove" gets rid of the 
spans that have been put round the identified words along with the words.

Had a look at this a bit more and managed to come up with a fix. Replace line 
316 from

this.after(this.innerHTML).remove();

to

$(this).replaceWith(this[0].innerText);

and it seems to fix the issue. Can I help to submit this at all?

Changing to

$(this).replaceWith($(this).html());

Seems to work.
