For the sake of the PH 'spelling Nazi' posse...

(and I include myself in this group )

...please download this spell-checker for IE (I assume most of you are using Microsoft's finest?).

Thank you and goodnight!

ErnestM recommended this spell checker a few weeks ago in website feedback. And you are correct, very helpful little piece of software!

Now if I could just find some software that will correct my grammar, sentence structure and add some real humor to my posts!







Edited for a spelling mistake!

Maybe people just need to learn to spell.

Id have to say I hate people not using punctuation rather than spelling mistakes.

I think it's called Word... Just copy and paste your reply from there, though it isn't that useful for all the 'Haha lol' posts that we get here.

FunkyNige, on my side of the pond it is humor.

Thanks for the tip on using Word, don't have it but I can try it with Wordperfect.

Need to be careful using the Word spell check method is that some of the punctuation characters are interpreted incorrectly when pasted into some websites.

This leaves your purple prose looking like I1999gd can1999gt read what you1999gre on about .....

It's the mis spellings that make some posts the most fun -don't you dare 'Spellcheck'!!

I hate it when on holiday when some kind English person has re-done the menu for the local restaurant -seen some cracking gaffs of literal translation in Europe that make the experience all worth while!

It's also a matter of context. Take all of the words above and scramble them up so that the brain can't predict what might come next and THEN see if it's as easy.
