View Full Version : Do you use the spell check feature?

Well - Times are a changing....

The spellcheck we used was a free plug in that ran an ad banner when you used it. Now they are charging for their service and to be honest its a bit steep - especially considering I don't see alot of people using it - and one can use their MS Word software to check spelling and then cut and paste their message.

So - do you use spell check? If you all don't, I dont see why AGD should waste its resources and maybe can take that money for something more worth while like contests...

what do you think?

Keep the spell checker. I use it whenever I post. It's much more convenient than writing in MS Word and cutting and pasting it into the post. Are there other free plugins or is this the only one around? Give us some options before you pull the plug.

You didn't have a category in the poll that said, "I used it but won't miss it". So, I voted for I use it. However, I can always type it in word and cut and paste it here (that's what I'm use to anyway). I'd vote for not paying for it.

You'll kan git ridd oh thut thiere spallchucker thang webbmister, Oi newer uset it neways.

But seriously now, how bad can someone really spell, why waste money on something not needed. Besides bad spelling make some postes more interesting.

I haven't used the new spell check, but the old spell check took too long to load. I write all responses in my Netscape program, spell check there, then cut and paste, it's the quickest spell check I've found.

I use it a lot at work where my connection speed is real good. But sometimes at home I do not as my connection is like 26400. However I use an old lap top P120 with a sticky stubborn space bar (right now as a mater of fact) that I realy need to use it but do not as it loads so slow on this thing. But I do like having it. I do not like composing in word then copying and pasting. Perhaps you can shop around for another free one?

I use it all the time, but if I had to pay for it I wouldn't. Therefore why should AGD.

I was runner-up in the spelling bee my 8th grade year, so I guess I am a decent speller. I normally only make unnoticed typo's or am just so tired that I lose thoughts and make dumb errors, like their and there. I've yet to use spell checker on here, most of the time when I use a spell-checker anywhere, I just get words not in the spell-checker's library.

I never use it. I spell everything right. In fact, in 7th and 8th grade, I never had to take spelling because I was too good. Instead my english teacher made me write an essay every week....

Oh yeah, the crappy spelling joke was kind of a spur of the moment type thing. You guys took it, beat it to death, kicked the head off the corpse and pissed on it.

for one, get rid of it. now, if you're really that worried about spelling, go take some english classes and some typing classes. otherwise, what's the big deal? i thinkk it's somewhat stupid so i'd get rid of it. i'd keep it if it were free, but forget paying for it. that's just me.

Hey, what are friends for, if not for running a good joke into the ground.

I never use it, I honestly don't really think I need to, as my spelling is at least pretty decent, so I think at least, and if I'm ever in doubt, theres always MS word and such, which IMO isnt much of a hassle to use.

in a post the general idea is all that needs to be conveyed. A typo or two won't quite get you laughed off of AO. Can the spellchecker; it's unnecessary. If a person really cared that much about their spelling they'd know how to spell all of the words they could think of a use for by now. Spellcheck=for t3h lazyness peoples
