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.

biko · 09-11-2006 07:22PM

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

Rage building.

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

*Nice new sig Squill ¬_¬

Jello · 09-11-2006 08:42PM

You might want to start using it then...

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

Ruu_Old · 10-11-2006 12:03AM

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

Endurance Man · 10-11-2006 12:04AM

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 · 10-11-2006 01:43AM

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

dahamsta · 10-11-2006 01:57AM

<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.
