Another feature for this forum?

There have been a couple of excellent ideas within the last few days, regarding added features for this forum viz a parts reference, and red flagging new photos.
Anyone apart from me interested in a spell checker too?

its not a spell checker I need in most cases - its keeping my fingers in sync as i try and type fast two handed that would help - plus a bit more discipline to read it thro before I post!

Well did you know the European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short). In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik emthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 persent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go. By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by z" and "w" by " v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

From the number of repeat threads, I think we need a FAQ (that is NOT a London swear word) and perhaps the buddy scheme that I suggested.

The parts Reference would be a good idea as well as the photo thing, I don't think we need a spell check as mi speellink is pratty gud.

Cheers
