Well, are you rubbish at spelling? If no, then good for you, but if you are, then do this!

1) Download mozilla firefox 2 (latest version), if you haven't got it all ready!

2) Once you have it, download this: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/dictionaries/?lang=en-GB

3) Restart firefox
4) Go to HxF or somewhere, type in a wrong word. THEN right click and click allow this form (or something).

5) Then spell check works! It's good in case you make a mistake, and there are many other languages!

If you need help ask!

(Not in web section, or computers as it's also for general!

How will people ever learn to spell then?

Getting reliant on auto correction.

I'm just posting this to help people.

Of course they will learn. Learning a word isn't hard is it?

This is useful, if you don't know a word, and need to spell it correctly. I used to go to google, type it in and it'd have the correction, needn't any more!

But if you never get a right spelling, and think your incorrect spelling is right, you'll never learn anyway.

You'd have to go get the dictionary, search... whereas this is seconds.

Eh? @first part

o.0 Am i missing something, or isnt being reliant on a dictionary for spelling just as unhelpful in that respect, with the only real difference being its massively slower?
Maybe we should all use abacus's instead of calculators as well?
