I will stray from the custom of sending randy our complaints and instead ask a question: can you add a spell check option next to "submit post" so that we can eliminate errors before we finalize a post and not need to go back and edit for spelling mistakes. I think that the format yahoo uses in its e-mail program would be great!!!!

You might try downloading ieSpell. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

The correct forum I guess for this was 'Technical Issues' and it has been raised there MANY times before.

IIRC UBB software simply does not offer spelling as an option, although I recall Randy posting he of all folks would have it loaded if it WERE an option. The free program I noted above works for many here. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

If we got spell check, would arturo be completely spell checked out of existence? I would hope not. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I use it all time (ok, most of the time http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif ) and it works great. Foreigners should keep in mind that it uses American spelling. Maybe that's why it didn't recognize the name ozstamps http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

If we must have a machine to tell us how to spell, could we at least make sure that the machine spells English properly rather than in the dreadful hybrid way that most people round here seem to use? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Yes. I was originally osstamps and the FT spell checker decided it needed the obligatory American "z" in there somewhere. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Lets play spot the words below Mr Gates has NOT mangled yet:

Realize. Harmonize. Surprize. Prioritize. Experize. Harmonize. *******ize.

And don't get me started on gray, lite, color, catalog, jewelry, check, center, etc. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mad.gif

And who decided that March 5 was somehow 3/5/03 confusing the rest of the world who use the far more sensible styling 5/3/03. (As do all US Govt customs and immigration forms. Coff.)
