Spell check function

I use ieSpell, been a bloody great program easy to use.

Should have added that you can use it for all web postings on all sites also not just on here, so is more useful than a dedicated EO system.

Thanks MrB. Down loaded Ispell. Pretty simple.

Ditto!!!

Yep, I've got fat fingers... Especially on night shift...

i have ten left thums...see i meant to type digits

Ha ha ...... thums = thumbs

Yes, I agree that an edit function would be handy...

prob'ly best if it was "active" for only a limited time after message is posted, otherwise ppl would be editing their posts left, right & centre, and things could get thrown right "out of whack"...

I'm OK wit tha spelun (I think???;-))

Bugger the edit feature!
If we had that, people would be able to change posts and they wouldnt get the ragging they so often deserve.

An idea is to not post whilst drunk....

Oh, you mean like this ?

"By the way, this from me, who my children well remebmer how i used to get the yellow highlighter on the school newsletters and send them back to the teacher - now they should do better, so deserve to be corrected."

remember spelt incorrectly
"i" needs to be a capital letter
"to get the yellow highlighter onto"
change to "used to use the yellow highlighter on"
teacher...singular, they plural....please don't mix.
Suggest re phrasing the last part of the very one long sentence, possibly breaking it into two more coherent sentences.

Footy...former teacher

(yep, we all make mistakes, don't we:))))))))

(and boy will I get some flak over this one)

LoL..that is too close to home Footloose, my wife is a teacher and is always telling me to put a few full stops in my replies. I just tell her I type it like I'd say it, and we aren't getting marked on it...little did I know!

Definitely agree that we need an edit function, or at the very least a fake first submit, because just like Motherhen said, I see all my mistakes the second the reply is on it's way

My vote goes to you Motherhen, I also usually see my grammar and typing mistakes when its too late to change them. Carolyn

Good one Footloose! LOL

Sorry Motherhen. The opportunity was too good to resist. My grammar and spelling often slips on the net, but it's usually an informal medium of communication.
I'd have to agree that many education systems have a lot to answer for. The other day I was helping someone address a list of criteria for a job application with Qld Health, and the application form had an error !

I should have mentioned; the above was not written by me. I found it somewhere on the net a few years ago.

Saw this today and thought it fitted this thread I bet most can read and understand it. Carolyn

Rindercella

Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion.

Rindercella worked very hard - frubbing scloors, emptying poss pits
and shivelling shot. At the end of the day she was nloody backered.

The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Chairy Hest and the other was called Hetty Swands. They were really yorrible and hucky and had fetty sweet .

The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball but the botton ritches wouldn't let Rindercella go.

Suddenly there was a bighty mang and her gairy fodmother appeared.

She purned a tumpkin and six mite whice into a cuge farriage with six hite worses.

The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnight otherwise there would be a clopppin falamity
