I would like to think that part of posting is to be able to communicate/exchange/express ideas and opinions clearly. It becomes very challenging at times (bordering on annoying at times), when one has to decipher a posted message.

By no means am I trying to be righteous here. Just trying to bring up a point. Grammar check would be too much to ask and could be counter productive to a casual atmosphere. I'd settle for a spell check utility with suggested options if possible. Thanks!

 

What browser are you using? I only ask because Chrome (and firefox AFAIK, but correct me if I'm wrong) has spell check built in.

 

I use Firefox... But that has nothing to do with (misspelled) posts I read, only posts I make.

 

No, no...

Google Chrome doesn't deal with misspelled words that have already been posted.

Chrome will underline text it thinks you are misspelling as you type them into blog/forum posts, etc.

 

I thought that's what I just said Goobs... Built-in spell check has nothing to do with posts already posted, just what you and I type when posting...

If there was a spell check with options tied to the forum then it might help other posters clean up before posting...

 

i doe no y u think wee need spelchek? next ting u no u will be axkin fo gra ma chek!

 

No need to flame just to build up your points...
I Nderstand wat ur saying f we wer txting... bt not wen drving or on frum...

 

Haha this thread makes me think of a few users in particular, or just one.

 

Ah. I understand now.

 

I know who you're talking about. lol

 

I think most of us do.

 

A minor pet peeve for me is people who refer to "rpm's & mpg's", not understanding that rpm = "revolutions per minute", and mpg = "miles per gallon"

 

milage??? There's quite a few more...
