While not directly related to the TL, this may help some of us who are all thumbs or spelling impaired create better posts.

This spell checker is an add-on to the Firefox browser that underlines the spelling mistakes as you type when you are creating messages in online boards like Acurazine.

What you need:
First off, if you use Explorer as your browser, I'd recommend giving Firefox a try. It is better in many ways. Both Explorer and Firefox can be used on the same machine and at the same time if you wish. It's free and very well supported by the open source community. One of the best parts is the add-ons that customize your browser making it your own comfortable place to surf.

On my browser I have the weather displayed at the bottom and if I click on any displayed word it looks it up on freedictionary.com and i have the Spell As You Type spell checker and a Launch From Here that opens links on the screen in a separate tab of the browser.

Download Firefox and get whatever extension you like to set it up the way you want it. There are hundreds of add-ons like weather, calculators, password managers and so on.

I don't always catch the mistakes and it won't help you if you use the wrong ward !

Good suggestion. I mainly use Netscape 8.1, which is of course a Firefox-based browser. It's far better than IE in my opinion, too!

 

Thanks for the hints. Have you tried posting this in Rumblings. oops!
