Yo yo yo...
I was just writing a post and i realised how terrible i am at speling (see what i did there <)
And i was thinking it would be a great idea if whilst writing a post, if you type a word wrong, a line appears under it (like most spellcheckers), but when you post it dosent show (incase you are intentionally spelling a word wrong or using a word that dosen't exist)
Just a thought, i keep getting stuck on 'unfortunately'
if you use firefox you can have this add-on anyway. don't know about other browsers.
No point adding this feature - browsers come with spellcheckers and not everyone will want it, guaranteed :)
not sure about IE, but it does it on chrome automatically
Would be good
Yeah it's a nice idea. :)
It'd be cool, but that many people who talk like... damaged people, will get really pissed off by the correction. Theres a small contingency mind you, but yeah, might as well keep it as it is. Dont improve a system which hasn't got a problem, yano.
You could have it like Google Mail and you just click "Check Spelling" at the top rather than it doing it automatically.
If anyone feels that strongly about having a spell checker though they should either use Firefox or Chrome (I dunno if Safari has a spell checker?)
And if you use Internet Explorer, install the IE spell plugin: http://www.iespell.com/
Opera has this built in too. I switched it off though cos it gets on my nerves :P
or you can just have idiots -rep you for a forum post miss spelling... :rolleyes:
tbh they deserve the -rep even more for being sad enough to notice it...
Google Chrome has a spell-checker built in. No add-ons :).
Yeh, Spell Checker comes with Google Chrome and Firefox I know that for sure. As there my last two browsers i used.
There is one for IE and as other have said it looks like every other browser has one also. Not sure if there is something for VB like this though.
This is down to the end user, it's really their responsibility to ensure their posts are (or aren't) spelt correctly not ours.
We won't be adding any sort of site based spell checker any time soon but there are plenty of browser add-ons and toolbars which you can use to spell check your posts. :)
also it would probably just annoy people who don't overly worry about spelling and grammar.
i hope everyone uses one though, stop of the spelling on here is hideous :D:P
Spelling on teh interweb in general is appalling I personally blame Icanhazcheeseburger for their lol cats
i blame habbox for not implementing a spell check
i also blame hxf.
some of the grammar is aswell ;)Quote:

Well if you have ever used bad grammar you will realised just about everyone who views the post.Quote:
