Saru Posted September 21, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The forum spell checker is now available to use when writing posts or sending private messages. To use it, simply write out your post and then click the 'Spell Check' button underneath. A window will pop up, and the checker will go through your post and point out spelling errors, offering alternatives and the option to correct each misspelt word it finds. The 'Learn' button will add a word to your own personal list of remembered words, which will be stored on a cookie in your browser. This means that words you use a lot that the checker does not recognise will be stored so that they don't come up as misspelt every time you check a post's spelling. There are also options to look up a word in an on-line dictionary and thesaurus service if you are not sure what they mean. Let me know if you come across any problems.

Saru Posted September 22, 2004 Author #13 Share Posted September 22, 2004 As far as I know it includes both American-English and British-English spellings of most words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnSide Posted September 22, 2004 #14 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Good stuff, glad it's there. Last time i checked 'i'm' was a word though, or was i making spelling mistakes all through high school? Hehe, word correction for 'I'm' is 'iamb'.
