Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with some people.

Hello everyone

Perhaps a spell check icon on the forum, would not be such a bad idea

 There is no need to add unnecessary features to the forum when every browser either comes standard with a dictionary or one can be installed as an addon. Look at the options for your browser and find how to add a dictionary or turn it on.

If you use Firefox, go to Tools > Add-ons and in the "Search all add-ons" box type in "Australian Dictionary." The first offering that comes up is an English (Australian) Dictionary.Click on the "Install" button on the RHS and you will get a dictionary tailored to Oz language. It will also correct most of the town and river names in Oz.

 

Hello PeterD

Thank you for that information. I have learned something new today, and I appreciate your input

Although I was aware of the spell check built into either a Microsoft, or Linux type Office Suits, I was unaware of the built in spell check in a Firefox browser

I have tried this out on this forum, and the spell checker now automatically works for me, as I type, without having to cut and paste from elsewhere
