Spell Check

DriftingCrow · March 09, 2013, 05:58:17 PM

What happened to the "spell check" button that used to be next to the "post" and "preview" buttons?

It went missing today, so... is it just me? I like the spell check button since I am horrible at spelling and don't want to annoy everyone with my butchered versions of words.

Most browsers have a spell-check feature (at least all of the ones that I have used) that checks spelling as you type.

You might check your browser setting to see if you have this option, and if it's disabled.

Good Luck!

Though I'm personally of the opinion that every word that is understood, regardless of its' spelling, is legitimate.

I use Google chrome and it has spell check. And the last update removed the "Spell Check".

Stoopid Updates!

I use Pale Moon, which is a Mozilla knock-off - but better.

Oh that's sad.

I use IE, I'll have to look around for a spell check.

Thanks I've been wondering what happened to it.

Firefox has spell-check for all input forms in right click menu. It's helped me more than a couple times with college discussion assignments.

True. Though I have found myself getting lazy sometimes, and short-handing a word just to let spell-check fix it. Naughtynaughty!

I also get impatient when I'm entering a search term in google... and I'm typing... waiting for it to make suggestions... and thinking - Come on! Are you going to make me type out the whole dang word?!

lol - not as bad as that little paper-clip fella that used to be on - what? Word?

He used to really annoy me! Particularly as I'm prone to employ a lot of vernacular (be it local [usually], or otherwise) and unconventional styling when I write.
