Hi, I have noticed on this forum, and others as well, that some people have lots of problems with spelling. Sure we can figure out generally what the intent of the message is, but it's still annoying to see so many spelling mistakes. Most browsers have a 'spell-checker', which will quickly identify and correct spelling errors. Maybe some people are not even aware that they are making all these errors, but they can find out real quick if they run a spell check on their next posting. I'm not trying to split hairs, but just want to see the forum be understandable and look more professional. Sherwin D. Well, eye used spell check on this and I think its fare to say awl is well. Bare in mind, eye think know spell checker corrects every mistake. Many words have duel spellings and or meanings and some times its hard to illicit what won is trying to say. Relying on spell checker could bee you're wurst vise. Sleigh the temptation of laziness. Spell checker may seam a good thing, butt sum day it mite make a fool of ewe. --jack |

Hi Mac, Actually, that bothers me too. When I compose the messages in Netscape 7.1, they are all lined up. When they appear on the forum, they get chopped up. If anyone knows how I can correct this, I'm all ears. Sherwin D.

I am not aware of any browsers that have a spell check feature and I expect yours doesn't either. This feature requires a word processor program of some sort in order for the spell check option to become an active selection of a news reader. Forte Agent has a spell checker built in. Of course, I ususally forget to use it.... :) email: dallyn_spam at yahoo dot com please respond in this NG so others can share your wisdom as well! |

It checks both mail & usenet -- and the new version of Agent has a vastly improved spellchecker. Not worth the $15 for an upgrade yet, but I might just do it because I'll be upgrading to 2.1 when nested folders are available. Jim |
