Spell checker

<div class="IPBDescription">So i can finally spell teh</div>I've been wondering if a spell checker could be placed into the forums.  Lately I've been pasting my posts onto Word and checking there, but that's too annoying for every post.

It would also make us spell better!  A very good thing for a game mod community.

(Edit- O the irony! The nearly only time I don't capitalize "I" is when I post about a spell checker.)

    Well, since the NS team didn't code the forums, they can't install it can they? If a spell checker hack has been made for ikonboard, they could add it, but I have not see one around personally.

    Writing everything in Word before pasting it in the forums sounds very painful. Depending on how bad your spelling is,
    I don't think it matters enough to make it worth the effort. I know I do some spelling mistakes, but I only care to check
    it at <a href="http://www.dictionary.com" target="_blank">dictionary.com</a> if it's a word I really have problems spelling. The most important thing is that those of us who live
    in English-speaking countries (and everyone else) understands us who don't. Though I must admit it looks much nicer
    when people spell words correctly.

    Oh well, it's no big deal really. (almost regretting posting)

    You could always take spelling lessons. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    How about just giving whatever you write a quick look before you post?  That's what I always do, and I usually avoid spelling errors.  I know many people who grow apathetic and let Spellchecker do all the work for them - which results in problems when they don't have it handy.  Get used to writing words out and seeing if they look right.  If they don't there's always a problem with it.  (I was about to say almost always, but when it comes to something like spelling it <b>is</b> always.)

    :/
    I suppose the case of dyslexia (At least, I think that's what you meant/have), a spellchecker is really necessary.  But that's OK, because Microsoft Word's spellchecker is usually so vague that you could misspell 'cow' as 'cwo' and it would return it among thirty other possible choices.

    I guess I meant that last part to be funny. But now that I look at it, it really isn't.  Arg.
