free spell check

[airhead]

yes, free.

I was exploring google toolbar (one of the few I\'ve actually downloaded without regretting it - just be sure not to download anything else it wants to include - like open Office; a Microsoft office clone.

one of the little icons is a green check with \"ABC\" above it. It will spell check any internet text box you are using (like forums.....) and you can even add to the dictionary so your last name doesn\'t trigger a spell check.

Just thought it was worth mentioning as CMON does not include a spell check in the icon set.

I thought all browsers came with spell check built in?

Safari does at least.

Peace and love...

Firefox includes one as well. Even better it\'s dynamic so right when you typo the word turns red.

Unfortunately I post from work most of the time and I\'m stuck with IE with no toolbars... at least that\'s my excuse for all my typos.

Download the English dictionary from firefox!

Right click / Språk / Lägg till ordlista

Done and done! I\'d just love if it would correct grammar as well.

Alex, you can install a UK English dictionary into Firefox, just go to Tools > Add-ons. You can then customise it to include mini-related vocabulary so it\'s not constantly prompting you to correct specialist terms.

You can also compose in Word or similar, then cut and paste into the browser; this has the secondary advantage in that your typing is safe if there\'s a glitch previewing or posting - never again type for five minutes only to have all your brilliance lost due to a CMON connection problem

You mean like Word \'corrects\' grammar?

As one of those evil IE users I have the Google toolbar at home. It\'s a very good feature to have. At work I cut and paste from Microsoft Word. (If I post in Gather I can use the features of Microsoft because their editor is http as opposed to bb code and can take a cut and paste from Word and convert it to it’s WYSIWYG editor.)
