Re: Internet Spelling Errors.....

You know what has the best spell checker of all time?

Google Search

Sometimes I can't even get Word to correct the spelling for me but Google can do it.

Id be screwed if not for Google Search. What i dont understand is why Google doesnt implement something based off their search suggestions into the spell checker embeded in Chrome and GMail? I find googles spell checker to be better then microsoft’s but it still doesnt deliever nearly as well as Google Search…

Re: Internet Spelling Errors.....

Or you can always just copy and paste into Outlook or Word and run spell check there.

Re: Internet Spelling Errors.....

As Matty mentioned FireFox has a 'live' spellcheck so it corrects as you type. If it's that big a deal then that should be an easy choice.

Re: Internet Spelling Errors.....

Actually when I try I can write something that makes sense with correct spelling. My problem posting is that I'm not going to look up how to spell bigger words to post on a football site and allot of times I don't read what I have posted. Sorry

You may have dyslexia of words vs. numbers. Most folks attribute dyslexia just to numbers but it can be both words and numbers or one or the other.

I beleive I have dyslexia of words to a degree but when it comes to numbers my mind is nearly photogenic them. For instance we refer to inflation indices quit a bit in my job, I have nearly ever fiscal years percent increase memorized on our master chart. Yet I can never remember how to spell these words:

remember
especially
i nthe (always type it this way)
waht (always type it this way)

There are others but you get the point.

And yes I agree everyone's level of writing is probably not well documented on here since it is a casual football form.
