| | | New Spell Check Feature < on 11/9/2004 10:19 PM >
| | | I've just added a rudimentary SPELL CHECK feature to UER.CA. To use it, click the "SpellCheck and Preview" button at the bottom of the post screen. Words which are not found in the dictionary will be highlighted yellow. You can click on a word to see a list of possible alternatives. This feature is still very rudimentary, and many common words like names and places are not (yet) in the dictionary. Give me time. -av

| | | I'm not sure if this is a direct result of spell check but the preview and maybe the post functions are dropping one letter words. Picture:

| | | I was surprised at the stuff it did catch, it was very useful. Mainly with simple "miskeys" that you don't see. You type an "m " and on screen it looks just like "n" so you proofread, post, all looks well, but then you look like an ass because you misspelled a common word. On the other hand I agree with the guy who mentioned that it would make idiots look like normal members. P.S. It just got me with "surprised"; With a laptop keyboard the r has a tendency to get left out.

I don't know...considering some of the posts I've read on UER, I don't think that even a "punctuation/ capitalization detector" would make retard posts coherent. I do appreciate the spellcheck, though. Thank you Av! -N

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |

| | | It appears it does not like words that have formatting applied to them. Also, in reference to English/Canadian vs. American spellings, there are words where the spelling of the former more closely mirrors how the word is pronounced, while the opposite is true for other words. If I didn't mind looking like someone lost between the two spellings I would probably use both.
