Posting this here because i feel the people of after hours need it most , with any luck I'll learn to speel

Download Firefox version 2!! It has a spell checker like word . I know i'm an ass but my eyes burn when i read posts from people who sound intelligent and yet cant spell (or cant be bothered to spell correctly)

Ssssh, if everyone knows about it then the Spell Czechs forum will become redundant and they'll have to find something else to make themselves feel superior to others...

Its just like Word, its really good, if u miss spell anything it just underlines it. Right click and it has a list of correct options**.

** Correct in most cases, there are certain words like BingoBongo that aren't in the dictionary, u can add words though.

Hmmmm just downloaded and it seems grand.
Too bad it won't correct there/their mistakes - yet
Guess there is a thread in Grammar Nazis forum about it.

Before you submit your post
simply right click in the post window and select
"spell check this field"

Any incorrect words will be underlined.
Right click the underlined word and a dialog box
opens with a choice of words. Then choose the word(left click) you were trying (incorrectly) to spell and it is automatically changed.
Handy tool if you want to be a perfectionist(i had to spell check this word).:D

I don't use Firefox, but does it recognise 1337-speak?

Is it built into Firefox 2? or do you download it as an extention? Cos i cant get it to work.

Ruu_Old

Its built in afaik, Tools->Options->Advanced->tick the box beside, Check my spelling as I type.

Endurance Man

Hmm, i didn't download anything extra besides a wee tool that allows u to download clips off youtube etc..

https://addons.mozilla.org/

I do remember seeing an add-on called dictionary, are u sure you're just not spelling everything correctly .

MrJoeSoap

Mine isn't working either, and I have the box ticked...

dahamsta

<fiddles around>

It doesn't show up if you don't have a dictionary installed, right-click and choose "install dictionary" (or somesuch) instead. Or get one from here if it doesn't show up. Think I'll probably end up turning it off, I hate it when Word does that.

I have numerous things.

I think it is great, unless you are referring to the their/there hiccup, that's not so great.

Try downloading the British English Dictionary from the Firefox plug-ins page.

'here, there and everywhere' is one way of remembering which one you want - the 'place' ones are all spelled the same.:D

Not going to bother moving it, theres a number of threads on Firefox 2 in Comp/Tech already and it can be discussed further there.
