Firefox 2.0 spellcheck

Yey! Just found and downloaded the UK dictionary for Firefox 2.0...
Know moar mizspelt poasts on Lokustbilders from nowon then!
Does IE7 have this?!?! Wouldn't seem beyond Microsoft to whip the idea pretty quickly, after all most comps will have a dictionary on them (mostly Word dictionary let's face it!!)..

Yes, but I haven't yet figured out how to change it to a "proper" English dictionary. It doesn't like centre for example. Bloody foreigners!

My wife and I use the British English dictionary on firefox and I've found the "add to dictionary" gets used a lot. It doesn't like you combining words like setup and popup so I add them as they do get used a fair bit.
Anorak alert here:- There ought to be a grammar check too as words like too and to, there, their and they're and another thing which is coming in more and more where people use "would of" instead of "would have" as in "I would of liked to"





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

the Google toolbar has a spellcheck on it, but i haven't used it much but i tried misspelling some words on this form and it seems to work.

Old git alert: They should ensure kids don't leave school until they can read and write in their native language!
