    Spell Check

    The new form is GREAT!!!!

    The only thing you might add is a spell check logic for catholic educated spellers like my self.

    There is a spell checker, but I don't know how logical it is.

      Sam - what is wrong with the word ELECTRONICALLY [?]

      My Thesaurus and dictionary say it's OK, but your spellchecker doesn't like it.

        Rod,

        I wish I could take credit for writing this forum and it's spell checker but I cannot. As does any spell checker, this one operates on a database of "correct" spellings. If it comes across a word that is not in the database it flags it and marks it yellow.

        I could probably manually add words to the database, but I don't think I want to get into that business.

          Thanks Sam - "not found" is an OK answer.
          Don't even think about adding words

            My favourite spell-checker result was from MS Word some releases ago (back in 1998). I was in South Africa writing a security report on a bank's computer site. In my text I wrote, "There are three boreholes on site." The only thing that MS Word offered was 'brothels'!

              The word brothel seems to remind me of a soup(broth)island(el shaped).

              Things worth doing,are worth doing right the very first time!!

                  Sean,I'm shocked that your web site doesn't have a link to this great forum.Maybe you just haven't gotten around to updating it.

                        Somehow, that just doesn't convey the purpose of a brothel! [:I][:I][:I][:I][:I] [}][}][}] [:0]
