I ARE A PELOT

I know many of us are into this forum. I like to "YAK YAK" a lot, But when it comes to putting it down for a "POST" why I spend more time in a dictionary, for fear of making a fool of my self by reveling that I am truly a dunce, and cant spell well when my brain is working."THE QUESTION", finally is can a spelling checker be a part of the "PREVIEW" part before posting?
I bet it would help many others. It sure helps with "OUT LOOK EXPRESS"

I don't know about the forum software, but you can very easily add a spell checker to Internet Explorer. You can then "spell check" any thing you type in these and other forums. Check out this link, download and install it in your IE browser. It works very well.

Also, bear in mind that this is a U. S. based forum with many International members whose native language is not English. Therefore, you are bound to have many mis-spelled words. And that is very understandable and acceptable.

Anything is one word Darrell. ;-)

Not necessarily true.

I'd say that US people are more prone to misspelling English than the Queen's citizens :)
There's not only many people for whom English is not their first language (I'm one of them, it took me a decade to learn English well) but many different dialects and regional variants to the language as well which may make things seem incorrect to some people which are correct to others (or in some cases may make things seem to have a completely different meaning from the intended one).

if anything were to be any thing, i think the correct verbiage would be any one thing. otherwise your english professor might mark it off... i know from experience..

Thank you, I did check "iespell" out. Appears to be a good tool.
If all else fails,why Ill just retain my 12yr old grandson as my official "SPELLING CHECKER". Does a great service for me,and he is already downloaded. Thanx again,Darrell
