Anyone else here who would like to see a spell check system installed. Would make my iq go up several points.

    I thought we already had a spell check here. When I misspell a word a red squiggly line appears under the word.

    Yea the misspelled or typo words get underlined in red. Some are also automatically corrected. You can hover over and right click to locate the word you are trying to spell.

    I can't believe I have not misspelled anything here. Never seen a red line.

    Best example of the dumbing down of America.

    My spelling leaves a lot to be desired and I don't always have a handy dictionary. Don't like leaving in the middle of a post to Google. Oops it just corrected leaving for me. I guess we have one, my bad.

    Forget it. Bad post. Sorry.

    I don't think it is dumbing down America at all....anything that helps is good.

    I disagree - but I'm not going to click "disagree" - I thought it was a perfectly good post. Smoe people are just jack handles.

    Disagree. IMO, Spell check dumbs us all down. I review what I rrite and the little red line catches most mistakes. Better to look things up so you remember them.

    That's like saying computers have dumbed us down, or radiation is unfair to cancer. And stupid people will still be stupid even if what they write has accurate spelling and perfect grammar.

    LOL, we'll see. Believe it or not, there are news stories that kids can not read time on a clock or even write in cursive.

    I don't think they even teach cursive in school anymore.

    And if you REALLY want to dummy down you can point at the message page and right click and select read aloud and it will read everything for you. What will these kids with computers think of next? >:)

    Good gracious, there's kids nowadays that don't even know how to properly whip a horse or change a buggy wheel, either :lol:

    I watched my 21 year old daughter take apart and change out the battery in her apple cell phone yesterday in amazement. She learned how on utube. Yes Amerca is DOOMED because todays kids don't know cursive or clock hands, OMG so effing funny!!!!!

    Sorry, once you start a thread you can't dictate how it progresses or regresses. It takes on a life of its own. :p

    You'll just have to hope that some troll posts a photo of a coin with obvious PMD and asks if it is an error, and maybe that will draw some of the attention away. Or maybe start a Daniel Carr thread. Or something political.

    Some people think you Americans can't spell even with spell check! On my honour!

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    By skipping the superfluous extra letters such as the quaint but unnecessary "u" in "honour", we have lots of time to do other fun stuff. ;)

  • KkathylKkathyl Posts: 3,762 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I agree spell check would be helpful. Our great minds tend to think ten steps ahead of ourselves. But It does make me pause, and gives me a little bit of a challenge without it.

    Best place to buy !

    Wow... such a long thread about spelling.... Must be a quiet night.... ;) Everybody resting up for the weekend... I have always liked writing and spelling, so any time I err, it is usually a fumble finger mistake.... I once saw an old thread resurrected and I read one of my posts.... and horrors!!! There was a misspelling... I actually edited the post. Cheers, RickO
