spell checker

[ronstan]

Not sure when the spell checker was put on here but I like it. Sometimes when typing my fingers get ahead of my brain.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention, I did not notice it either.

Thanks, I didn't notice before either.

Ok, yesterday I thougt I had found spell checker, but I was wrong.

Just how do I get that feature?

Just go to the bottom of the page and you'll see several boxes you can click on for various actions. One of them is "Check Spelling". That's the one. But it may be browser dependent. So if you're using Foxfire or something other than IE you may not see it.

Neat. Saves me going back and editing my messages.

[Montana_2821]

The difference is the Browser. I use Firefox except in a coupld of siturations where Firefox doesn't work. I just pulled up IE and sure enough it's at the bottom.

I'll stick with Firefox as I really like it better. On my computer IE tends to close for no reason sometimes.

Thanks.

I use Firefox and downloaded a spell checker that works great. I do have to right click to get to the program.

I'm using IE 6 and don't have a spell checker button. I do have a button to "Get ieSpell" but no spell check button per se.

[ronstan]

Steve you have to download the spell checker and then install I think that's what I did. I just love it. Most of the time I do pretty well on my spelling but if I type to fast I get messed up.If I'm wrong somebody help out

Spell Chequer

But dew knot trussed yore spell chequer two fined awl yore mistakes.

Not a Misspelled Word in the Bunch
Owed two a Spell Chequer

Eye halve a spelling chequer;
It came with my pea sea;
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it to say
Weather eye am wrong oar write -
It shows me strait aweigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long,
and eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it;
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh,
My chequer tolled me sew.
---Sores unknown



Chequed For Miss Steaks

When words profound and fluent,
I'm called upon to right,
I always worry that I mite,
not get the spelling rite.

So I keep a spelling checker,
(clever thing) in my PC,
and my computer brings to cite,
miss steaks aye can knot sea.

A chequer is a wondrous thing.
It freeze me lodes of thyme.
It helps me chews the word sigh knead,
and lets me make them rime!

Each frays composed upon my screen,
eye trussed to bee a joule.
The checker ponders every word,
against sum spelling rule.

Be four my checker changed my weighs,
aye had full many a laps.
Long words with lots of fid lee bits,
once gave me hart a tax.

Butt now bee cause my spell Ling,
is chequed with such grate flare,
their are know eras in my pro's.
(Of nun aye am a where!)

To rite suck sinked is quite a feet,
of witch won should be prowed.
Sew wee mussed rite eggs act and neat.
Miss takes are knot aloud.

Now yew can sea why aye S steam
soft wear that does sew pleas,
and why I brake in two averse,
in prays of our pea seas.

Yes you are right Glenn. I have already used her instead of here and the spell checker doesn't know what you intended to say. So you still have to watch what you are righting

Just checked my spelling and it says it is write

[RC and Samantha]

Ron and Glenn you are so right. You really have to watch.
