Spell checker,

[deepNdirt]

Lately I spend more time (correcting) my spell checker, I might as well not use it and just leave any words misspelled and let you guys figure it out
The Spell check that TBN supplies hasn't ever worked on my computer so I download something called ieSpell software by ( red egg ) the free version, how ever as i stated it sometimes acts goofy, by throwing in duplicated words or double the ending letters of a word, What good is a spell checker if I'm having to correct it's so called corrected spelling?:confused2:
I'm not illiterate or anything like that, But well all have typo errors, or mis punctuate a sentence so it helps to run a quick check before posting, Anyone know of another more reliable program? or why I seem to not be able to have the one here on TBN work for me?
thanks Oh and I'm going to attempt to let the spell checker correct this thread to let y'all see what I'm describing,
Hmmm! well well not all the time does it make mistakes

No comment, other than I like the fact that we all try. :drink:

The TBN one has never worked for me either. I tried to down load it a few times but the process got confusing to me so I stopped trying and just use the Google one, but it doesn't work all the time for some reason.

I usually type mine in microsoft word then copy and paste

I didn't even know there was a resident spell checker here - Firefox and Thunderbird have it built in. Red squiggle underline of a questionable word and a right click brings down a menu of suggested words, plus the option to add to dictionary if it's a proper word that you use a lot, or ignore it. Of course it doesn't help for misuses such as breaks for trailer brakes or coarse for steering a course or my personal favorite, except for accept.

Yep, I quit using Explorer some time ago and use Mozilla Firefox which has a built in spell checker similar to Word, I really need spell check since I retired and got lazy.

With windows 7 no spell checker ever worked, but when I bought my new computer with Windows 8 the red squiggles started appearing.

spell checker [whats that] not had that done sence 7grade in scrolll

ieSpell normally works quite well, but it is incompatible with some forums. I have trouble with both TBN and LinkedIn.
I typically highlight the word I think may be misspelled, rightclick and use the context menu link to ieSpell. That works fine...but if I let it check the entire post, I'll end up with duplicate words and other errors.

I just ask the Mrs.

I have had great success with Google spell checker.

I use Google Chrome, and the Google spell checker catches about 95 % of my misspelling. I sometimes have to add words to the dictionary.

I use an IE addon called ISPELL that catches most errors. When I use it that is.

remember this one

I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It highlights for my review
Mistakes I cannot sea.

I ran this poem thru it
I'm sure your pleased to no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My checker told 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 eye rime.

Each frays come 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 checker's
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun 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 word's fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's 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 pleas.

:laughing: That's brilliant!

The only spell checker I use is my eyes and a dictionary.

I'm still having same issues, though I've come to realize what the software company is trying to do and that is if they make the free version mess us up :confused2: they may have a better chance selling us the pay version
Think I'll be un-installing the iespell checker and seek another program,

X2 for me

I REALLY wish people knew the difference between "then" and "than".

How about I simply remove the term

I do know the difference in the two terms, it's just sometimes my fingers get confused I could use a better spell checker than the one I was using, The spell checker I was then using was always messing thing up,

 

[texasjohn]

not pointing to you....have noticed that there are quite a few who simply use the wrong term, regularly---just a pet peeve of mine...and I'm mostly more tolerant of finger checks then eek not:confused2:
