Drax240z Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Everyone realizes there is a built in spell-check to the forum software, right? The little squiggly red lines under the words aren't just for effect, they actually mean something. All you have to do is right-click on the red squiggly underlined word, and choose what you were actually trying to spell. The goal is to have zero red squiggly underlined words before you hit the post button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_furious Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) The squiggly red lines are Firefox's built-in spell checker. That said, the forum DOES link to a spell checker(upper right hand corner of the text field, 'ABC' with a check mark), and most browsers and even OSs now have them built in, as well. Homonyms aside (there, their, they're), there's no longer an excuse for bad spelling. Much of the reading and writing involved on the web is at a fourth grade level...a fourth grader can communicate properly on the web if they stick to what they've been taught.

Michael Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The easiest approach is to compose one’s posts within word-processing software. This not only tracks spelling and grammar (or if you prefer, “grammerâ€), but is also useful as a diary of one’s posts. Mine may hardly be worth saving, but I have files with most of my posts, going back to February 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Um, what browser are you using? Firefox! You mean some people still use IE? Gah! For those that cannot spell, I highly recommend using Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Firefox! You mean some people still use IE? Gah! For those that cannot spell, I highly recommend using Firefox. You mean people still use Firefox? No, totally kidding, Firefox takes up way to much room. Chrome is much better, I use Firefox. Why? I am really not sure.

cygnusx1 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Opera v10.63 red squiggles and all! Â It was around before Chrome and Firefox were even conceived! Â I love mouse-gesture-surfing. Â Try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I like opera, but i'm quite stuck with chrome. It just works for me best at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think I would give the I.T. guys back at corporate a hemmorage if I used something non-listed on the company laptop. And out of respect for the mess they likely would have to clean up eventually, I don't press the issue and stick with non-squiggily IE... 'Cause that's the kind of guy I am. (Like the Tie-In with the earlier pontification?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
