hehe, I just get a little embarassed when I re-read a few of my own postings sometimes. I suffer a little for dyslexia, and especially when I'm really tired, my words gets all messed up.

But as I said, it's no biggie. Just a thought.

How about I just do that after every post? :mrgreen:

I'll check what the mod (if i was indeed right in seeing one) entails and then maybe add it later if its reliable and doesn't have any effect on performance.

lol. you see! =)

tnx mate.

But as I said, not a must. Would just be a nice addition. I think some others would benefit of it as well.

Doesn't everyone do what I do? First type in MS Word then reread 5 times to make sure. Spell check 5 times. Close the program, bring up saved HHAH post #458. Spell check additional 5 times. If friend or family member is present, ask them to proof read. After copying and pasting on to the board, copy and paste again to make doubly sure. Then preview 5 times just incase the preview isn't previewing correctly. Finally you are ready to submit. Then go back and look at your post, refresh the screen five times. :lol:

"For" would be spelled correctly, so I guess you would have to add a grammatical error checker too. :wacky:

i switched from opera to firefox. I can't really say which is better, although firefox's bookmarks are totally shit... it seems incapable of even ordering them alphabetically :roll:

But the extensions are very nice

I aint being funny, but who gives a flying fuck if someone is dyslexic?

So many foreigners type in piss poor english that we are all starting to evolve a translator.

John_Doe · **Posted:** Sat Feb 12, 2005 5:12 pm **Post subject:**

hmm... http://forum.fucktheinter.net got some mod which checks the spelling before accepting the post....

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Sun Feb 13, 2005 8:11 am **Post subject:**

I still don't see the point.

I really don't give a shit if someone makes a typo, grammar won't be changed, so the results is minimal, seems a totally pointless feature to be honest.

Not worth the effort, I don't think anyone is that shallow to pick on spelling, but if you need the dictionary, firefox has loads built in.

Don't think people would be using it anyway...
