Pantalaimon Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Hi. My name is Pantalaimon. I'm a bad speller. It seems that most every type of email account has a spell checker program built in. What type of work would it be to install a spell checker in a forum? I have no idea about these things, I'm not even sure its realistic... but I bet SOMEONE out there knows the possibilities. It just seems like it would fit in up there among all the font/size/color/etc. buttons.

Depending on the browser you use, you might want to look into IE Spell, a free spell checker that intergrates into IE.
Pantalaimon Posted December 9, 2003 Author Posted December 9, 2003 OoooooooOOOOooooooOOooooooo. Nice! I will attempt to incorporate that into my browser at home. Yule never cache me makin spelling messtakes agen!
bug and snake Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I got it last time it was mentioned in a thread here - no mistakes now except when I forget to use it. Now, what about a grammar checker..... A post content checker?

+Divine Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) UberCacher. See? A spell checker would surely have corrected the umlaut for that word too. Edit: Grammar. I need a grammar checker. Edited December 10, 2003 by Divine
+Doc-Dean Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 How about adding a Dialectizer!! What is a Dialectizer?? Here is Pantalaimon's orginal post after it had been converted to help a redneck understand. Now mind you, the use of the word redneck is not meant as a slur but as a description of a particular inflection or dialect of the english language... Howdy-doo. Mah name is Pantalaimon, as enny fool kin plainly see. ah's a bad speller. It seems thet most ev'ry type of email account has a spell checker program built in, as enny fool kin plainly see. Whut in tarnation type of wawk'd it be t'install a spell checker in a fo'um? ah have no idea about these thin's, ah's not even sho'nuff its realistic... but ah bet SOMEONE out thar knows th' postibilities. It jest seems like it'd fit in up thar among all th' font/size/colo'/etc. buttons.
+Baptist Deacon Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Wonderful spell checker. Glad someone pointed it out. Works great.
umc Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) I spell doesn't work. I have to tell it what is right and not. I'm constantly hitting the 'add' button to add words to the dictionary. Words like; geocaching, geocacher, ROFLMAO, travelbug, etc, etc.. I did have to add ect BTW. Seriously, I just found that program recently in a thread around here like someone else mentioned and its great, saves me frequent trips to dictionary.com Edited December 10, 2003 by umc
+Stunod Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I did have to add ect BTW. Well, you should have added etc as the common abbreviation for etcetera instead of ect.
umc Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 ummm...uhhhh....I don't know what you are talking about. Darn, did you have to quote me? Now I'm really wondering if that was a one time mistake on my part of I've always done that.
