As Roy is away for 3 monthes and is very busy
i think you should wate a while and ask Roy when he has time .
i'm sure he already knows about this and will look into it when he has time

Re: Spell checker
 

ok but i still would like to hear other people views on the matter to back up my statment when hes back---wheres he gone by the way

Re: Spell checker
 

I think Roy said he had a lot of things he was going to get round to doing when he had time, like bringing back the petz and the money as well as adding a spell check. It's not so much spell checking as typing checking I need but it boils down to the same thing I suppose. I do try to read back over it before I hit the send button but sometimes I miss seeing something until it's too late.

The problem with a spell check is that it doesn't understand what you are trying to say and if you inadvertantly type an incorrect word but spell it right it will be accepted.

I remember one classic letter I wrote to a customer when I was working in a small branch of the bank. We had an automatic spell checker on our word processor and I hadn't looked back to see what it had done to correct my mistakes.

The letter I almost sent asked our customer to call in some time so that we could discuss the operation of her hovercraft! What I had meant to type was "overdraft" but I'd hit the "c" instead of the "d" and the word processor had kindly added an "h" for me.

Re: Spell checker
 

Nice one.
I've done similar and never noticed untill it's to late I just hope that the person reading it is as thick as me and doesn't notice. lol

So I think it's a good idea too. :)

Re: Spell checker
 

Why the need for a spell check it is sometimes funny reading posts with spelling mistakes, some of the mistakes improve some posts.

Re: Spell checker
 

For the same reason as Willow, I find my spell checker unreliable, unfortunately I haven't always noticed that it has let me type the wrong word. I have now abandoned my spell checker and have resorted to a good old dictionary....:D

Re: Spell checker
 

Yaaa. hehehehe
Trouble is, I never notice. :p

An Owed to the Spelling Checker

I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed to bee a joule
The checker poured o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Be fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if were lacks or have a laps,
We wood be maid to wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of none eye am a wear.

Now spelling does knot 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 ware for pea seas,
And why I brake in two averse
By righting wants too pleas.

Well, i started this the other day(i wonder why?:)) but due to my short time in england ended up in the pub before i got it working properly, haven't really found myself out of the pub since then and so have not really been capable of further attempts... anyway, it shall be coming soon as long as someone helps me out with internet access from germany! !!
