Spell Check

MLH · September 23, 2002, 11:03 AM

Was wondering if a spell check could be added for the guys ( and ladies

) that can't spell worth a crap ( or type worth a crap

) I noticed over on Packing.org that they put one on and it makes it much nicer. Don't know if it takes too much bandwidth or not but it would be a nice addiction to the site.

For those who care...
Can always do the post in your word processor program, edit there and then paste into the TFL page.

At least a few here compose in their word processors, then cut and paste to TFL. The effort does two things: The more obvious is the spell check and even grammer check; the more subtle and, I think, better effect is that the extra time allows more thought, sparing us from some replies better left unposted and improving some that are posted.

Hoping for an answer from the staff.

I think misspelled words are interesting.

Chuck Dye · September 24, 2002, 01:39 PM

Ok, Sam, how'd you do that? I would have sworn my post landed right after SR_14_M4's!

Huked on fonix wurks fer me!

a spell checker would be cool... but I bet those that need it WOULDN'T use it!

"Hoping for an answer from the staff."

Ok, here goes. It is practically impossible for us at TFL to add a spell check function to the medieval editor supplied by vBulletin. Until vB adds that function, there won't be one here.

Sam's advice is best. Or you can use the online spell checker at http://www.spellcheck.net/ .

Or, of course, you could always do what Mal does...

Has one of his legion of servants at Mal Acres read the messages to him, to which he dictates an answer while a comely chamber maided feeds him peeled grapes...

Hey, Mike-

poor typing skills, or just envy?

**Mal H** · September 26, 2002, 06:45 AM

Knot necessarily, and it wooden ketch the cases wear bad gamma is used. However, weather or knot to use one should be left up too the member.
