Could a spell check feature be added to the posting page?

T.J. you may want to consider adding the Google Tool Bar if you haven't done that. It has a spell check feature, among several other convenient tools. The spell check works for any data entry within Internet Explorer.
This is what the screen looks like without the Google toolbar.
With Google toolbar and a misspelled word while composing a post.

Thanks Jerry. I didn't even know I had that tool. You got to admit TJs posting was funny. Of course that young lady probably doesn't think so. Slim

Actually Scott, I think T.J. was implying he (T.J.) don't know his P's & Q's.

Actually in the 40's-50's the term for the three-R's was Reading, Ritin' and
ROUTE 23. That was the route from the Eastern Kentucky coal mining area to the northern factories in Ohio.

I just had a bunch of work done on my PC; new hard drive + another gig of RAM, so I lost a bunch of programs off my PC.
In the process of downloading new programs, I found a good spell checker for checking spelling in my posts.
It is called ieSpell. You can download it here:
http://www.iespell.com/download.php
Now I just type my message, right click on the reply box and click
check spelling.
Works slick!

Dale Microsoft Word, if you have it, also works well as an editing tool for spelling. Type your thoughts into MS Word and then cut/copy and paste it into your post. There are just all kinds of options.

I found ieSpell 2.6.4.573 online tied in with Yahoo or Google one.
I can type and spell check right in the Post Reply box.
It works great and I don’t have to cut & paste.

That's what I do with Googles 'spell check' add-on. My suggestion was for those who don't want to go the add-on route.
Many times, if I question my spelling of a word, I just pop it into the Google search box and voila, Google tells me if I've spelled it correctly or not.
