spell check (again)

[hazmat]

I know it's been brought up before....

Since I'm a know repeat offender of bad spelling, I thought I'd plant the bug again.

Came accross this

spellchecker.net

Can it be integrated into TBN? I'll happily buy a hat to support the cause even though my freebie is serving me well.(although I'm still waiting for the T-shirts to come out).

Pretty expensive solution for this type venture at either $150 per 10000 checks or a $3500 server license. WHy not try something on your end like IE Spell checker

 

[hazmat]

Eagle,

Thanks - I'll give it a shot (probably test it out on my home computer lest I incur the wrath of the IT dept).

The issue is not the capability, but rather the server resources a spellchecker takes up. We don't want to add the spellchecker and have to take it away because it slows things down too much.

I guess I would then say forget the spell check. In fact all you guys that don't know how to spell is ok with me because I don't know how to spell either. In fact I have a better chance of reading something that is mispelled because that is the way I spell.

Dutch,

While humans can still read misspelled words and therefore understand the meaning, it makes it kind of difficult to do searches. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Let's see...

Is it bale hay or bail hay?
Hydraulic or hydrolic?

 

[Inspector507]

or a hey bale, hey bail ?

I have been using IE spell for about a year now and have never had a problem with it...... just my wife looking over my shoulder as I type, saying "you misspelled that word"..... that is what you get when you live with a teacher!!!!!!

I use IE Spell Checker too. It's freeware and you can put it right on your tool bar.

It works really well as my mind moves faster than my fingers do.

Junkman told me about some time ago and I downloaded it. I believe that someone posted a link for it in this thread. I just used it on this post because I misspelled a fwe wodrs!!

Dang /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I get blamed for everything.....

read about it....... The download icon is on the left side of the page if you want to continue...........

Don't forget to put it into your "download directory".. that is if you have one... usually it is in your "my documents" folder. This makes it easier to find later if you need to.... Remember that the Ice Cream Man told you about it....... LOL.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[hazmat]

Thanks guys. I will download it when I get a chance.

My wife is a teacher too. But she's a bad speller as well -- always has a pocket dictionary with her when grading papers. Good thing it's third grade not college, or she'd spend more time reading the dictionary than grading papers. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[Junkman]

Mine is also a teacher and she is always looking over my shoulder telling me that I misspelled a word. I tell her that it is only misspelled after I use spell checker on it and it is still wrong....... but you don't want to argue with a teacher.... it is like trying to reason with an ostrich.... never wrong and when they are, they stick their heads in the ground!!!!!! Can you tell that we sometimes disagree?????
