What with the beeb in charge now, could we perhaps start a petition to get a spell check introduced for when we are posting. It always annoys me when I read my posts and find them full of mistakes. Spell Check has made me lazy of the years and I can't be asseed to write my posts in Word then copy paste them. Would it be that difficult to introduce one of those squiggly underliny things so plebs like me know when they have erred?

Look here for a free spell checker that will put a clicker in the tool bar and on the mouse right button. http://www.iespell.com/</a>

That Reed Cargo rice OP further down the page is really annoying me. (My posts are as full of typos as anyone else's.)

I think people are are get mixed up with needing a spell checker, and an editor on TT.

It'll be interesting to see if the beeb do anything, other than close us down. For sure, if TT was branded 'BBC' they'd need 10 times the mods.

At first, I loved spell checkers but I found over the years they made me lazy.

On here, I'm 'happy' that I misspell at times and see no need for a checker. (Tho' if I notice it I correct it: like the 'and' just now was originally 'ans'.)

Nearly forgot the almost obligatory: I, for one, (and what else do people think 'I' denotes?) am saddened, as well as furious, that you ask such a question on GS. Food related, I ask :)

(Not that I give a damn.)
