Spel chek

[bmcecosse]

In my main computer - my posts were 'spel cheked' - but using this laptop it's not hapenning - as you can see! Is this something I can turn on in the forum ? I don't see an option for it.........

not sure if there is anything on the forum itself, but it could be something like a different operating system or a internet browser. you could always download some sort of spell checker addon for your browser.

i think 'firefox' has a built in spell checker, but internet explorer doesn't. that's all i can tell you. not sure if you can turn on one for internet explorer. it could be that your previous computer was using firefox and that's where you're spell checker was coming from.

Candidate for a Pullet Surprise
by Mark Eckman and Jerrold H. Zar

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when eye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore a veiling checker's
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.

Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

Very good
I found it better if you disconnect your brain first reads better that way

Well done..... Yes - in the other machine I go through Opera - where here at the moment Explorer - so that's probably it! I need it more for detecting fumbling fingers rather than actual speling mistaces. Thanks all.
