I've had it with Spelling Mistakes!

April 26, 2009 2:16pm CST
Seriously can they enable a spell check here?? Everytime I type here I proof read it like so many times and I think yep that should do it, but the moment it gets posted then I can already see a hundred spelling mistakes and its so embarrasing!! When are they going to bring in the spell check or is it already here and I don't know where it is?? Help Help Help pls guys!! Thanks

You should open myLot in a Firefox window - it will usually underline all of the words you misspell in red, and that can definitely be helpful. It doesn't help you with GRAMMATICAL issues (as far as punctuation, sentence structure, etc) - but it works with spelling.

I know what you mean I wish the site had an auto spell check option. I take online classes where we post to forums all the time, and they have a feature where you can have it auto check your spelling when you hit post. It I will run spell check and give you an opportunity to fix or ignore anything that is not in the spell checker's dictionary. I really think that we need something like that here on myLot. I think it would make the whole community, which is so rich in text language much more professional because it would eliminate 99% of spelling errors. Hopefully, Alice has got us a Spell Check option / button on the myLot community wish list. As this discussion points out, members would love for this option to be added.

If you use the Firefox browser your spelling is automatically checked. Try it and I'm sure you'll find it far better than trying to find the mistakes on your own. Firefox is superior in many ways, just try it and you'll see that.

I have no idea if using a different browser there is one or not. I use IE and there is not so I have to deal with any that there might be and there sometimes are several. I think using one would make us just too lazy though and we really should try and manage without. Just my 2 cents.

Well there is no automatic spell check if you are asking. actually we have to do it properly before posting, but it is fine yaa sometimes there are some spelling mistakes made and they are accepted. so dont be that worried. it happens. happy mylotting.
