kayjay Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Is there a way to spell check my posts? I get stressed when I see some of my own misspellings. I have such bad brain fog I can't see my own mistakes and then I see them later (YIKES)- Thank you KayJay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The forum does not offer built in spell check. My best suggestion is to write your post on your computer in program like word, spell check it there, then copy and paste it into a post.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks Nina... I will try to see if I can do that. I just can't "see" my own mistakes anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think you're in excellent company, Kayjay, so don't worry too much. I think many of us here wince when we see some of the things we've inadvertently misspelled or the poor grammar we've used. No worries.

Maxine Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I can totally understand. I find this annoying, but I deal with it. I use dictionary.com to double check somehting I'm not sure of.It has no reflection on how smart you are. My dad graduated Magna Cum Laude with his Master's degree, but struggled with spelling. My mom always helped him with that.I can spell complicated words, but find that I mis-spell the easier ones.Maybe you can try dictionary.com also. However, there's those times you have the brain fog and think your spelling is just fine and find out later your not------------ I think people on this forum would understand and not judge someone because something is mis-spelled--------------- Maxine :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Definitely no big deal about the spelling here! As a tip, you can use the "Firefox" web browser to get spellcheck for any website where you type stuff in and post it, including this one! It is free, quite popular, and works great. It highlights unrecognized words with a red underline as you type, then you can "right-mouse-click" on the word to see suggested corrections. It helps keep me spelling good (grammar it does not do You can find Firefox browser here:http://firefox.comIf you use shared computers like at a school or library, then you probably cannot add Firefox yourself... but you could ask if it is an option.If you are not comfortable adding software to your computer, please run it by someone that can give you advice & direct assistance... chances are they are familiar with Firefox already and could give you a hand. I'd hate to advise you to do something but be unable to assist if it complicates your computer use! It works great, but you know computers... there are always things that can get tricky.
