Spell checker,PLEASE!

[Larry Andersen]

Those of you (myself included)who are not good spellers please get a spell checker.
Just do a "Google" for spell checkers, then all you have to do is right click on anything you type and click on "Check Spelling" Thank you.

unfortunately this is a common problem on most forums...

I was a heavily active member on svtoa.com and we had a few that would get on there and make it almost impossible to read... then they'd get mad cause you complained that you couldn't understand what they were saying...

This has been touched on already here: POSTING GUIDELINES (http://www.provoscooter.com/vbull/showthread.php?t=391)



Proper spelling/grammar is a big plus. This helps people understand what you're trying to say. It doesn't have to be perfect, but at least make it look like you try. Obviously, English is not the native language of everyone and even native speakers are prone to mistakes. Simply try to spell properly. Try here for a good, free reference. If you need help because you either spell of type as well as a penguin, please download IE Spellcheck, a spell checker designed for message board users for free from www.iespell.com.

Do not use spelling short hand. This is often referred to as "AOL Speak" since. The message board is not AIM or ICQ or IRC. You are not within the bounds of AOL's system. You are not in a race. You can and should take your sweet time when posting. Some examples of spelling short hand are "u" for "you", "4" for "for", "r" for "are", and others.

Do not intentionally butcher your words. We're not your English teacher, but we don't wish to be subjected to your abysmal spelling just because you think it's trendy, unique, cool, or whatever. It is not trendy. It is not unique. The only way it makes you stand out is as someone lacking a reasonable number of brain cells. Some examples of this spelling are "kewl", "luv", and any instance of replacing "s" with "z". Occasional usage is accepted, but don't construct your entire posts like this.



Now as far as spell checking programs go, this one works well and integrates in to IE. IE Spell Checker (http://iespell.com)

I am moving this however to the proper forum, and closing it. There is an ANNOUNCEMENT in the top of every forums that have been there for over a week, directing folks to the new positing guidelines so I see no further need for discussion on the matter.

i'll be the first to admit that my spelling is not the best..... but, I REALLY did not think that these forums were that bad? I rarely don't understand what someone is trying to say.


Anyway thanks for the Link KingVino I downloaded it and will now be spell checking to keep the peace.
