grr, irritating for us folks who don't normally have spelling problems. but useful for those who do i guess.




Very true, but I guess UER will help me improve my spelling...


And yeah, it says UER is not spelled right...

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal? Its a natural plant that grows in the dirt. You know what's not natural, 80 year old dudes with hardons. Thats not natural, but we got pills for that. We're dedicating all our resources to keeping the old guys erect but we're puttin people in jail for smoking something that grows in the dirt.

It doesn't know "UE" I mean come on. Frankly I think its the most annoying thing in the world. Default should be "off" giving illiterates the option of turning it on rather than bothering the rest of us who were actually awake for grade school.

Ah... I think the problem is, most people who most need it won't bother to turn it on.

And you think that those people will take the spell checker's advice and edit their posts to adhere to agreed upon English spelling and grammar? Fat chance. Its an extra button to press for everyone, punishing the masses for what amounts to a pet peeve.

Incidentally I just clicked the option to turn it off and its still forcing me to do it. What gives?

The spell check force is optional. You can easily turn it off. I checked your profile, KAOS, and it's not turned off.

Yeah, I turned mine off and it worked. Even if it slips through a few words I love the new feature.

I clicked it and hit submit and it kept doing it. The second time though it worked. Must've been some Microsoft glitch that snuck in making sure that I was sure by making sure that I was really definately sure I was doing that I thought I wanted to do.

Incidentally I will continue misspelling the words I've been misspelling all my life. Like mispelling.

Of course it would have the correct way to spell things, it was made by a Canadian!

C.


Shouldn't it be a spell cheque?

Anyways, great feature Av. It will go a long way towards easing the nerves of us spelling fanatics and will also hopefully cut down on the "You are an idiot! You misspelled (insert word)! I win!" posts which tend to turn up a lot in online arguments.

You are the Jesus of webmasters.

I am just taking it to be authoritative. Can't be too sure and we all know computers don't make mistakes.

aldehydes it does seem to have a penchant for tarzans to change others words. . .

I think the spellchecker siloed reject words like idiot before others.

Good thing Dogboy doesn't post here, considering he writes everything according to some strange phonetic spelling system of his own invention.

Av, good job. A little unnecessary in my opinion, but a good feature is a good feature.

Please add should've and UE when you next get a chance.

Well done!
