I have been noticing some horrible spelling around recently...my self included...so how about it? Would it also be possible to add bike-related words such as campagnolo and deccaddai (<---see? I can't spel! )
I think that would enhance the readablility of this forum greatly.

This will be an option for donating members (spell check on reply), as the spell check module / service is quite costly.
A free tool i use is iespell, at http://www.iespell.com
I admit, I use it too and have recommended it to others. :rolleyes:

It stops me from looking like a total fool....now with iespell I'm only a halfwit!!
Hey Joe>>>>>>did you know that iespell in not in the iespell dictionary?
iespell has been a very useful tool.
It'll work for any dialogue box on any site.
The dictionary seems to be rather extensive.
A good heads up from Joe!

Just wondering how many people would actually use a spell checker. Generally I can't be bothered.

I would.
I just check as I go along. I go to dictionary.com and do a quick entry to make sure the word is correct.
It only takes like 10 seconds, tops.

Have never used a spell check.
Its really not much of an effort. Much like using a word processing program...click the ieSpell icon on the top of the browser and it is done.
I like using it. My shortcoming would not be spelling errors but typing errors, which to me is more frustrating since my brain knew better than my fingers!

You better watch it. You might be relegated to the BMX forum.

its letter perfect awl the weigh
my checker tolled me sew.
