Running Firefox.Need a good spell check.Which one are you guys using?

I never use spell checkers. They're the Devil's work! Whenever I use software that incorporates an automatic spell checker, it is nothing but a headache and just slows me down, often inserting words I never intended. I then have to go back through everything I write and correct the mistakes the spell checker has made.

My Firefox constantly checks spelling and "donks" every time I misspell a word... I never turned that function on so I don't know where it comes from.

What version FF do you have?

It's at home so I'll have to wait until later to check. I do know it's the latest since FF is always trying to upgrade itself and I just let it do it's thing.

The last several versions have had spell check. Just go to their site and get the latest version.

Spell checkers are fine as long as they know their place. If a program wants to politely show me that it thinks a word might be misspelled (as Firefox does with relatively innocuous red underlining), that's fine with me. If the software will let me easily add a new word to its dictionary (as Firefox does with only a couple of mouse clicks), so much the better.

Now, software that installs with "auto-replace" enabled by default - well, THAT'S the Devil's work!

I always compose off line, using Word, and then copy and paste. That way no lost messages due to a minor detail.

The downside is that this web site will usually change the typeface and font size.

I type so fast that it only takes me a matter of 2-3 seconds to type out and post a message about this long.

In my opiniun . Wrong spelling.How can i fix it .RT. click check spelling is checked.

Pull up www.pcworld.com. They just had an article touting a good spellchecker for Firefox. If I have a chance, I will look it up for you.

I have version 3.5.2 Under tools, options and the advanced tab, there's a check box that says: Check spelling as I type...

Thanks

Well guess what. It is checked.

That's odd. Try uninstalling it and reinstalling it. That might work.


My biggest spell check problem is when I misspell words on a handwriting test and wait for the squiggly line to appear with the corrected spelling!

I hate handwriting. I type so much faster.
