Spell Check

Post by Jody Carver »

Why is it this Forum has no spell check? I see many intelligent people who mis-spell and neglect to edit and correct.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jody Carver on 30 September 2006 at 09:12 PM.]</p></FONT>

Forums do not supply spelling checkers. It is up to us to edit our own mistakes.

Some forums, do have spell check but they are much more sophisticated (and higher priced for the software).

I find it handy to do my posts on a Mail
composition , and make sure its correct .
cut & paste it to the Forum reply or post
page . Just a thought ! it works for me .

However it would be helpful to people like myself who cannot spell, I make many spelling errors and that's why I have to edit so often. like now, I spelled people as poeple instead of people Image <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jody Carver on 01 October 2006 at 07:38 PM.]</p></FONT>

A spell checker would by mighty handy for sure but for $5 I feel like I'm gettin my money's worth. Sometimes I use my email to compose a reply and use the built in spell checker then I cut and paste like Bob does. Better than nothin?<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Andy Sandoval on 02 October 2006 at 04:39 AM.]</p></FONT>
