Spell Check

[revmdn]

Do we have a spell check function on our posts? I don't see one, and could really use one. I'm a terrible speller. I'm on this other forum that has a spell check right next to the post button, it makes me feel smart. Can I has it, pleez?

I use Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Both of them come with a spell checker, built in. Let me guess, you use Internet Explorer!

You've got a mac? cool, i have one too, but you should download firefox(it's free) it's better.

I will absolutely look into it. I'm not real good with this computer stuff. I got this MacBook free with my credit card points.

 

[idolomantis]

Mac's are awesome, better than windows for me(IMO). firefox and camino are basicly the best for mac.

You can also put some grammar rules on the notes on the dashboard.

I use this: IE Spell. If you use Internet Explorer it's great. It's a small, free application you download. After you install it, you can right-click on any post or message you are writing (in any forum, email, web page, etc.), and it will give you the Spell Check option. Really easy... I love it!

I've tried Firefox about 3 different times, and Google Chrome twice... but I can't help it, I still like and prefer IE!

I don't get pop-ups... I have Zone Alarm Internet protection suite, and that takes care of most everything. It's not really the looks. I guess I'm just used to it, and it's much easier for me to use. Believe me, after hearing all of the negative things about IE over the years, I've tried to switch several different times. But I could never get used to them... I just didn't like Firefox or Google Chrome. I actually hated it when trying to learn and use them!

I use Firefox as my default browser and Chrome for MantidForum, but you're right, Katt. A lot of older users, who have always used IE, prefer not to make the change. Can you even run Chrome on Windows 98?

Based on what? I always get people telling me it is better but I fail to see how. I have both browsers because my wife likes firefox. I have tried it but can't see what makes it so much better. Tabbed browsing was the only thing it had I really liked but IE has that now too. I'm like Kat, I like IE.

I usually hope my spelling is good

 

[hibiscusmile]

I am too lazy to change, change is not good
