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

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 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.

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!

Miss Steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid

And eye can put the error rite
its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
its letter perfect awl the weigh
my checker tolled me sew.
