Spell checkers cause a huge amount of strain on the server, so we won't be implementing one.
Besides, everyone here is smart enough to hold down a job in order to buy an Xterra, so they should at least have 5th grade spelling skills.

The main reason for typos is people hurrying to post. In order to prevent this, take your time when composing your post, then read it over before clicking the button.

I'll admit to being an ungood speller. So I keep one of those electronic spelling boxes on top of the monitor. Since I don't count on battery operated devices there is also a copy of "Webster's Instant Word Guide" up there too.

dave and xtoy - no battery in the book smile

Yo! Ian!

You trashed me pretty soundly a couple of months ago when I suggested this spell checker!

Use the online dictionary .

If your spelling is close you can use google to double check. Just type "your word" dictionary and google will pull up a bunch of sites with the correct spelling and the definition.

For those who are really challenged,

they can always type the message in Microsoft Word (or similar) and then when the automatic spell checker catches all the mistakes, then cut and paste into XOC and post.
