Second Request: Speel check

[zoney!]

I have requested this before...and of course I was let down by management.

BUT, now that love_u2_adam's posts are making my eyes bleed, I think it would be a fine time to try again.

How about a spell check function?

and now, for how it could be posted:

I have rekwested the b4...,and uv coors I wuz let down by manugment.

But, now that my posts r macon my i's bled, i tink it wud b a fin tiem to tri agin.

how abut speel chek funshun?

my browser has a built-in spellchecker so i wouldn't need this, but i think this is a fine idea

whether or not people would use said function though is another story. i'd certainly hope so, though.

Do you really think they people who need it the most would use it?

They people may use it.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

They people may use it.

a spellchecker wouldn't have caught that

we should have a grammar checker as well

I often could use both!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

if we had them, maybe i'd be pier* pressured into capitalising things!


* not a typo!

Oddly enough I generally use spellchecker too.

New thought:

Repeated ignoring of the spell check function is grounds for immediate banning.



Holla.

Holla.

 

[Mr. BAW]

Well, their our peeple hear who due kneed it....

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

btw, i checked vbulletin's site and from what i could see, it looks like it's not an option. although they may not list every feature on their site; elvis would of course know these things better than i would.

i of course wouldn't mind though banning people hoo typp liek dis!

We'll get spell check right after they start administering an IQ test for all new posters.

IQ tests would not help determine spelling acumen though.

It might help though.

and what pray tell, will be the official position on American/British spellings eh? I have a lot of contempt for Mr Gates & his bleeding spell check function on MS Word - it's seriously messed my life up these past few years. I don't know anymore whether it's neighbour/neighbor, favour/favor, flavour/flavor, defenceless/defenseless and the rest of that rubbish. That's just spell check - grammar check is totally evil. Apparently I don't know how to use commas, full stops, colons/semi colons or any punctuation. Spell check is like an opium habit.

 

[the rockin edge]

i rarely ever use any form of spell check

 

[u2granny]

Neethur du i.

Spelling makes timothius feel: .

You got a crocodile in spelling.

 

[clarityat3am]

How would you spell check the handwriting thread?

This idea blows, Jeff. Not because you aren't correct in what you say. You most certainly are, but your species spell many things incorrectly! Which language option would you deem the most appropriate?

You say 'erb. We say Herb because it has a fucking H in it!

[mickey]

It's a good point, I'm surpris/zed the decision makers at America's haven, dictionary.com, haven't dropped the "h" in herb. In fact, now that I think about it, the "e" and/or the "r" could also be omitted.

have any of you plodded over to have a hand at literati recently on yahoo games? Three years ago (when I did) I had to regularly be flayed with words like: eh, aab, ze, skat, umm. I fear for my life most when I use any kind of spell checking program.

I think God was quite inventive when he put Canada smack between the US & England. Between the two, I prefer English English, so, it is indeed annunciated 'erb' I reckon.

(spelled with a/an "h" of course)

 

[mickey]

Oh, and do you know the difference between:
"centre"
"center"

5 gold stars for anybody who doesn't have to use a dictionary
