When I post a little red squigglely line appears under misspelled words. Right now the word squigglely is underlined in red.

If the red lines appear when a word is misspelled, a few posters here will need some infrared protection....:) By the way, if a man is part of his canoe as well as part of all canoes have ever known, does that mean he is good tipper????

That is a good one! I still can't get red lines to appear.

Several years ago a waitress who was born and raised in Ely, Mn and was working in a bar near the lift bridge in Duluth, MN told me the following joke...

What is the difference between a Canuck and a canoe?

A canoe tips.

Hey Moot. Are you using Firefox? If so, version 2.0 and above may be what is adding the spell checker.

Thanks Jeff. My daughter told me to use Firefox and I installed it the other day on my laptop, about the same time the red lines started to appear. I was worried it was something in my coffee.

About the same I noticed my wifi connection quit working. Any suggestions?

Did you go into the start menu to connections to see if it was disabled? I'm with Jefferson, you're getting the spell check from Firefox. If you're using Adaware you're going to find you get less crapola that you need to delete. Good firewall.

Hmmm, crapola is underlined. Anyone know how to spell that?

Hehehe. Crapola probably isn't in the database. I think you've made as good of a spelling as any.

My wife loves the spellcheck as well. It works on lots of sites, including various webmail services, as well as Myspace and other blogs.

well I have been using slimbrowser, but with the option for spell check, might look into changing, but according to Ft.Wayne, since I am perfect, I prolly dont need to change anything!!:p
 

Jefferson3000

Expert Expediter
Yes Patrick, since you are perfect, you probably need not change anything. However, since the rest of the world is imperfect and internet security is definitely an issue, I would certainly consider switching to the Firefox browser.

More importantly, you get to try that cool spell check feature.

Well, I have truly tried to resist posting about spelling and grammatical errors but, since Moot brought it up, I can't resist posting my opinion. Sometimes I end up with a headache trying to figure out what a person is trying to say because they don’t use any punctuation and their spelling is out there somewhere!!! I will be happy (thrilled even) to help anyone who needs help with the steps I am about to share with you. The following steps will make it easy for you to be certain your post is correct.
1.Open Word on your computer.
2.Type your message (just as you would post it) and Word will underline spelling errors and even make suggestions for you. Simply left click on any underlined word and select the one you were trying to spell. If the sentence is underlined in green that means it is not correct. Again, left click and select the correct punctuation.
3.Next select all your text, left click and select Copy (or you can use the hot keys- Control/C).
4.Next open your post form in EO and place your cursor where you would normally type a message.
5.Left click and select Paste (or you can use the hot keys – Control/V).

All of us want to be treated with dignity and respect. That is one reason we dress properly, brush our teeth and comb our hair. That is also why we try to use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

I’m not an expert but I have taught a lot of people how to use computers and computer programs such as Word and I’ll be happy to help if it something I know. India

"That is also why we try to use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling."

India,

It depends on what you qualify as correct grammar, with the new grammar that some of these kids today use is something else and may be considered a new language - the word "like" is overused just like "Whatever" and interjected a lot in a 'normal' sentence, if you call it that.

"Like I was sitting like right there, and this like guy came out of the taco bell like with a giant.... like taco..... like it was weird..... like you know what I mean?" - this is THE actual comment made to me and I stood there dumbfounded at what this girl said to me.
