Spell check on posts

Post by yunzabit » Mon Mar 29, 2010 9:31 pm

I don't know how to or if it is even possible but I didn't see a topic requesting this so I figured it was worth asking.
I'm talking about adding a spell-check button when creating a post. What do you think?
Being grammaticatically correct is a necessity here and adding this function would eliminate all unintentional eerrors.

Many web browsers do this for you - and, if an error's big enough that it's clear, we have our clean-up crew to take care of it if absolutely necessary. Just my two cents.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Humour?
Anyway, What browser are you on? Most modern browsers have inline spellcheck. If you're on IE check out the http://www.iespell.com/ addon, and Opera users (apparently) need http://aspell.net/

If you have IE you should probably just stop that right now and use Google Chrome or Firefox.

Firefox

Google Chrome

I also use a Firefox add-on for spell check in both English and Dutch. It's very convenient.

I'm sorry to bump up an old thread but I have a minor question that is partially relavant to this topic of discussion:

Whenever I see some random red colouring on words/single letters, are these corrections made by administrators?
Actions have reactions so don't be quick to judge, you may not know the hardships that people don't speak of.

This is intended to give people a somewhat-snide little "heads-up" that they agreed to these rules and are expected to type properly. Not every little mistake will be corrected (especially those from our foreign, non-native-English-speaking visitors), but if you find yourself subject to these corrections, it may be time to re-evaluate your posting style (a.k.a. "Seriously... you're above the age of ten and live in suburban America; for goodness sake, use a period!").
