Hey Brad is it possible to instal a Spell Checker in the area where we type comments.

I for one am a hopless speller

Yeah itd be very helpful and it would get everybody off my case

I'll find out. Off the top of my head, I don't think so.

Some of my pet hates are bad spelling and punctuation. I think 'The Internet' and mobile phones have got a lot to answer to with regard, how to spell and punctuate properly.
When I went to school (1970's) spelling, writing, grammar and manners were encouraged. These days, it's regarded as secondary and sometimes obsolete.
Maybe I'm just 'old fashioned'.

Yes it is possible but it is very very buggy. You need to load a dictionary and run validation and all teh ones I have seen on forums have spent more time corrupting than helping.

Just use word and cut and paste till computer geeks care about spelling and fix it.

also dont forget some of us choose/ are too lazy so we use "internet slang" but yes i do agree some of it is a bit difficult to understand.......eg: slang like h4X0r5 (its say's hackers) like now that just a little too hardcore for me

My favorite l33tspeak tale:

There is the possibility of using Microsoft Word (which must be installed on your PC) as the spell checker. Now, 93% of you use Internet Explorer, so it'll work for most of you as long as you have Word, but not:

Macs
Linux
and any browser that doesn't support running VBScript

So the question is: How many of you have Microsoft Word?

Buggy Brad, when I said, 'mobile phones', I should of written, 'text messaging'.

yeah good idea - but no-one would use it - not even you - as it is time consuming, i know of a few forums that use them - and they just take up time and space - which is not truly required ...

Just learn to proofread - that will take less time than putting a spellchecker across it over the net !!!

Why not just try it for a short period and see what happens. If it's not utilised, then remove it.

You're probably right. Buggy Brad

We should spend our time building, destroying and rebuilding VW's.
So what if the spelling's not perfect. The perfection is left for putting into our VW's. That's the main thing.:thumb
