Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 29 7:57 am)
Thanks, grate idea. Eye got it immediatly, it was a fast down lode, and found that four me it worked wright first thyme. I can now phil in my replies confident that they will bee error free. Know longer will aye have two check each word in my OED. The wonders of the computer age! Ware wood wee be without these little gems? As you can tell I used it before making this post. I'm sure its correct because it did knot find any errors :)
Once, as a child, I was looking over my father's shoulder as he was writing a letter. My father is an atrocious speller and I was a spelling bee winner and obnoxious to boot (I'm ever so much nicer and more charming now, of course). When I corrected my father's spelling, without being asked, he looked at me sharply and said in a pointed tone, "Son, I believe in creative spelling." I've always tried to be careful after that... :)
On the other hand, caulbox, I do appreciate the link. I like using spell checkers quite a bit, and I didn't know there was one that embeds in IE. Thank you.

Internet Explorer? Blech. Who uses that thing anymore?
According to Browser News, August 21, 2004 about 85% of all people who browse the world wide web do so with some version of IE. To be sure, that's down from an all time high of 94%, and it's likely to continue dropping, but that's still many millions of users.

Just my 2 cents worth, the spelling errors may be due to the fact that English is not the first language spoken by many members of the Renderosity community. I've studied Spanish and Russian and I hate to think what my posts would look like if I had to translate them to either one ;-) English IS my native language and I still have trouble spelling it (I think I read the other day that there are about 9 different ways to pronounce ough). Some of the misspellings may also be typos.
Why don't you all just spend a few hundred
years learning to spell, instead? It eventually
comes naturally.
Well, there's... no, wait. Okay, I, uh... no, not that, either. There's always.. no, no, I guess not.
Sorry, that's such a great straight line, and I've got about half a dozen great follow up lines, except they're not really clean enough for general public consumption. ;)

Dam ya'll to hell! spellin devil says dam is wrong Now I have no excuse. Why is it SUCH A BIG DEAL! #$(#&%#@$ sorry, mother was English major and taught (past tense) Legal writing (she u'dta be un lawyer). I hate writing letters to her as she sends them back corrected in red. I hate you hate you hate you waits for download to finish, taps foot....hate you hate you...okay gotta go install now. grrrrrr
I hope people don't use spell checkers! I love the little giggles I get from errors! Thats half the fun of reading the forums! So please don't correct your spelling :)

It's not just non-English speaking people. I know several people where I work who speak English as their first language and can't spell worth a darn (and some of them have college degrees). I'm really tired of seeing words like "alot" instead of a lot (two separate words), or "loose" instead of lose, or even using nonexistant words such as "irregardless." That spell checker looks like a nice little tool. Oh, and Softriver, I use Internet Explorer. :) Melanie

... I thought there might be a few users (like me) who could benefit from this great little spell checker, IeSpell. I've been a big culprit of atrocious spelling in the past, not least because of my poor eyesight. I'm not sure if IeSpell has been discussed or recommended here before, but I've been using it now for a couple of years without any problems whatsoever. It incorporates itself into the IE toolbar (the "abc tick" button you can see) and spell checks the input boxes which you fill in online. IeSpell is a standalone application (2.5 Meg download), but it will appear very familiar if you've used spell-checking in MS-Word. For personal use IeSpell is completely free, and without nags or spyware of any kind.
