NO!

1) I dont think it is possible.

2) Dont think Paco would do it.

3) It would add another level of complexity to posting that just isnt nessisary.

Firefox, not only checks your spelling but keeps you free (relatively) from spyware.

That or we should sponsor an English language seminar and force all you minors to take it  :lol:

I would also force the non-minors to take it.... I see plenty of people 21+ that couldn't spell to save their life! And grammar? Oh boy....

A spell checker would not improve the quality  of post since the people who "don't have time" to spell correctly wouldn't use it anyways.  As already pointed out, if you need a spell checker, there are free ones out there like Firefox.

And a spell checker wouldn't do anything about poor grammar. *cough* Sentences start with a capital letter *cough*

True but you should see our stupid ass teachers, theres no discipline in our system. So they cant force us to learn anything and Mr. Tard face in the back is asking everything she repeated 5 minutes ago.



I dont have firefox but i use google and dictionary.com :lol:

I've seen some other people making "typos", and I can't even understand what they're saying. Thats why, I want to know what is going on. I don't want to read a bunch of gibberish!

Thats pretty much it I guess...

If you cant understand what they are saying because of their typos, it probly isnt worth reading.

True, but if they're selling things i dont want to see,"the sral ghrolnsh $56"

I mean it could be a good deal, but you dont know what the hell it is!

But you are right, this isn't AIM where its who can type the fastest. It's a forum with important information to be unlocked with superior intellect.

But what if it was an automatic spell checker, but still people would want to say lol and wtf and maybe a roflcopterpwn. Yet what of the kids who dont want to or dont know how to download mozilla. I know its easy, I have it. If you put one on then people wouldnt have to download mozzila or pay attention in class. Im not saying some of us dont, or care.

Get Firefox.  I am still trying to find out why everyone doesn't have it.
