Need Spelling Checker?

[David S]

Dear Webmaster,

 

Would you please put a SPELLING CHECKER (white or black)in the forum? That would help speeding up our typing. I laughed at my own post when I looked back some time. Ha, Ha,

[PE @ IHS]

Let's take pride in being North Americans and not being able to spell properly. Inventing new ways of spelling common words is part of our natural heritage, a sign of limitless creativity and ingenuity.

 

Or it shows that we grew up watching TV instead of reading books.....

You think that's bad...

A survey was done and they found that 65% of adults could not do fractions. A whopping 65%! WOW, that's almost 1/3.

 

But look, there's only 3 kind of people in this world...those that can count and those that can't.

It is amazing! Where did you guys find out the 50% and the 65%? My fraction is not so good. Please tell me 65%=1/3 or 65%=2/3?

 

Wow!

((Foghorn Leghorn voice)) It's a joke...I say it's a joke, son. That boy...that boy is about as sharp as a bowlin' ball.

P.S. Don't take it personal Dave. I love the bowling ball remark and I couldn't resist. All in good fun!

I think some research must be done first. If we use a common or proper spell checker,it will be disaster.If the words are spelled correctly The forum members will not be able to read the posts.

IMHO

We will need to create our own custom misspelled library, maybe we could call it the ""proGRAMMER""

[Webby]

A Spellchecker was included in an earlier UBB version but was removed from the package for a variety of reasons. They may put something back in eventually, but it's not an option at this point. You can always copy and paste into Word or an email application with a spellchecking.

Hey David, run this through your spell checker.

 

I have a spelling checker.

It came with my PC.

It plane lee marks four my revue

Miss steaks aye can knot see.

 

Eye ran this poem threw it.

Your sure real glad two no.

Its very polished in its weigh,

My checker tolled me sew.

 

A checker is a blessing.

It freeze yew lodes of thyme.

It helps me right awl stiles two reed,

And aides me when aye rime.

 

Each frays comes posed up on my screen

Eye trussed too bee a joule.

The checker pours o'er every word

To cheque sum spelling rule.

 

Bee fore a veiling checkers

Hour spelling mite decline,

And if we're laks oar have a laps,

We wood bee maid too wine.

 

Butt now bee cause my spelling

Is checked with such grate flare,

There are know faults with in my cite,

Of nun eye am a wear.

 

Now spelling does not phase me,

It does knot bring a tier.

My pay purrs awl due glad den

With wrapped words fare as hear.

 

To rite with care is quite a feet

Of witch won should be proud,

And wee mussed dew the best wee can,

Sew flaws are knot aloud.

 

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays

Such soft wear four pea seas,

And why eye brake in two averse

Buy righting want too please.
