Spell Checker
« on: July 15, 2013, 06:31:21 PM »
Just noticed today, that the spell checker, doesn't .

All it does for me, is to compress the post into one block and doesn't correct mispellings .

I've got used to it and I even think "Tire" (derived from attire meaning covering)  is an improvement on the olde English "Tyre". That's where I draw the line though, I won't have the spell check reversing all my words ending in -re to -er.

I could do with New Zealand English spell check too - all Maori words get red flagged, and we used them a lot with place names, street names and locations.  Got to tell it that Kaiaua is a real word to me.
