one word, Spell Check, wait.....two, yeah two words. You can get the best one here at ieSpell, ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a web page. i recommend everyone download it and use it, that would make reading the post just that much easier, oh and of course, no leet!

Okay. This is a good idea, however, noting what you said above, it is an Internet Explorer extension. Not everyone uses Internet Explorer.

Tazmaniandude is right, only the cool people would be able to use that spellchecker. ;)

Well, I am doing fine without a spell-checker. The only problem is that not everyone uses Internet Explorer, like Tazmaniandude said.

Maybe if spelling becomes so abhorrent on this site, Bungie will include links to certain spell-checkers across the net that different browsers can support; doing this would be a better idea than for Bungie to have to make their own spell-checker and incorporate it into the site.

Wow. I saw my name in this thread not once, but twice. How special. I think they should have some kind of grammar checking tool though. I've seen some terrible grammar in these forums.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

For people using FireFox, there is always Spellbound. It's a free spell checker that I find is much better than even Word's.

Wouldn't it just be a good idea to put a SpellCheck put into BNet itself, rather thatn downloading an IE extension. I can't see many of the people in Zanzibar actually using it though...

  • 06.16.2005 5:38 AM PDT

Well, Safari is so cool that the spell checker's built in.

Oooooh.

I would hate to see your spelling without the spell checker Reiginko. That would be a disaster.

not evryone use ie explorer, but for me, ie is the only browser that works with this website.

To see a sample, have a gander at some of my early posts here. I didn't have Safari until just before the new hotness, and I didn't know about the spell checker for about a month after that.

Take note that I used to have a signature which read "I proof-read this post at least twice. I suggest you do the same so you don't look like an idiot".

Then one day some tool flamed me for saying "colour". Takes all sorts I suppose.

It got mad at you for spelling it "colour"? There's nothing wrong with that. Apparently, the software was made here in the good 'ol U.S. of A. because we normally spell it "color" instead.

Ofcourse, i naturally spell color colour but I often change colour to color because the majority of people on here spell colour color instead of spelling color colour...

Edit: Spelt colour color :-P

The people who cannot spell would not take the time to use that, and there's no real way to force them to do so, as much as it pains me to say it.

Why? The only people who won't understand you are most likely too young/stupid to understand anything posted here.

If i really need to know how to spell a word or need to check my spelling, i just open up Word. Though usually i just face the fact that i can't spell.
