Totally for it. I really can't stand reading messages where people type like this:

"YEA BT DIOUF IS 4RM LIVAPOOL SO EZ NOT THAT GUD LOL!!!!!11'

However, the vast majority of people on here can spell and use good grammar, so we might not need one.

Think its a good thing to have - altho is there an option where people can ignore the spellchecker if required?

It may actually help youngmc articulate his posts

yeah it could get annoying, so maybe put it in with an option to switch off for each user....

Hahaha! True, if you can ignore it that's cool!

It would work as an option just like you can choose to add smilies you can select the spellcheker

Gnome · Post by **Gnome** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 5:14 pm

sounds ok, but then the ppl that you're targeting with this (ie the ones who's posts u cant understand) aren't likely to use it anyway so may be pointless

Personally it would annoy the crap out of me, but some people could definately gain from it

I get stuck on the odd word from time to time, so installed a word check extention onto firefox, which is ace. You just highlight the word you think you have mispelled, right click and goto dictionary_ it then checks it with a online dictionary blah blah.

Side note: Firefox is ace

SpellBound 0.7.3 - Adds spell checker support to web forms and extensions.

If you can apply it to the illiterate people on this forum then I'm all for it.

Saves me having to actively ignore text speak rather than trying to read it.

Just ban anyone who uses that stupid text message spelling.
Start with olispence.

You pirk? Very good. What does it mean?

Spellchecker would be good for the articles - help edit them quicker

Bench · Post by **Bench** » Fri Mar 11, 2005 4:53 pm

Yep - certainly would. Anything that makes the job easier should be applauded. And it also allows us to deal with any pirks.

I think the official forum needs it. It's full of absoloute retards on there.

ab·so·lute - adj.

I presume that was a typo, but in keeping with this thread it made me laugh

it would come in handy! (sometimes)
