MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Seriously, I don't know how hard it would be to add one to the forum, but I think the benefits would far out way the amount of work. I mean, there's a chance us Bungie fans could actually sound (dare I say it?) intelligent! With coherent posts! W00T!

bah

Ummm..... That sounds like it would actually be a lot of work to implement. They can't just grab any dictionary they want. Is it so hard to just type a post in Word, or Works, or in an email? Come to think of it, is it so hard to just take ytour time an type correctly? I don't even use a spell checker on my posts, yet I have less errors than most people. As a general rule, if you don't know if it's spelled correctly, odds are it's not going to matter.

I've never seen a forum with a spell checker before and I think it would be hard to implement.

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Ok ok, I know it would be tough to implement. I suppose it could be a waste of time because not everyone would use it. I always spend time making sure my posts are grammatically correct, but I figured that an in-forum spell checker would simply make it easier for those who are less grammatically inclined. ;)

Stosh gave me a link to download a spell checker and it works awesomely. Ask him for the link and he might still have it.

I'd be nice to have one, but think about another 3 to 6 hour update? Then finding all the bugs! It'd take forever. I know I have bad spelling, and well, I'm ok with it, I try to spell official docs and interviews and check them correcty. But hey, I'm just a running joke when it comes to spelling. Right Live killa?

Knowing Microsoft, they probably think that German and Dutch are the same.

I think sounding intelligent is affected more by the vocabulary we use rather than just correct spelling.

If you need to know how to spell a word then just google it, but if you need to check enough words per post to justify having a spell check then you really shouldn't be posting in the first place.

I know, and the problem is, you can change it to dutch spell checker, but it somehow only works one word. It's rediculous.

MS must have thought Deutch and Dutch is the same.

The main problem with a spell checker would be the fact that the people who are presenting the largest problem with illiterate posts are not people who just don't know how to spell. It's people that don't care that they're not spelling correctly. No one really minds how Yoozel types, maybe a slip up of the fingers here and there, but its the people who don't even try that cause the problem, and I don't really think that a spell checker would fix that.

Agree, as long as its not to bad, I don't care. BTW, nobody is going to say thanks for bringing up the link to the spell checker?
