please don't bring up old threads unless you have something meaningful to say or ask.
sammyb says: May 1, 2008. 11:04 AM
As a matter of fact I was checking to see if the spell check recognised the word, so it was a useful comment, you unjust man.

Seconded; I find it annoying when people do that.

Not to mention he spelled "antidisestablishmentarianism" wrong...

Antidisestablishmentarianism. Onomatopoeia. Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious.

Pneumanultramicroscopicsilicovolcanaconiosis. Best I remember, that's how it's spelled. That's at least how it's pronounced.

You called me unjust, yet you expect me to tell you how to type small?

tsk, tsk
sammyb says: May 2, 2008. 12:05 AM

tomonto says: May 2, 2008. 2:05 PM
you do not need to POST the comment to check, just preview it. no small text for you.

Um, but in the process did we loose the Preview Comment ? I see it up at the top of the box, but mine doesn't work :-( I get only this in the preview box: undefined

Goodhart says: Oct 3, 2007. 7:14 AM
Ok, so maybe a variable name got altered accidentally in the Jscript?

Aaaaaaaaaah ah, interesting.

I wonder if this will also detect grammar errors ...

Oh, seems I've found a bug.

When i write i instead of I, and when I press "change it", it does not change it.

It does not change i into I. =o)

zachninme says: Oct 4, 2007. 5:36 PM
I assume its a bug pertaining to the replacement of things like... Doggs are fun! ...to keep the D capitilized.

Loosewire; SOE Operative (author) says: Oct 2, 2007. 7:41 AM
Yes unfortunately, it also does not recognise many commonly used words. Ha! It does not recognise 'recognise'.
173
fungus amungus says: Oct 2, 2007. 8:08 AM
But it does recognize "recognize"
9
Loosewire; SOE Operative (author) says: Oct 2, 2007. 8:52 AM
Not on mine, it suggests 'reckons'.
173
fungus amungus says: Oct 2, 2007. 9:00 AM
You must have the more casual spell check, then. :) Just kidding, I was looking at my firefox spell check. Both versions are now valid.

Loosewire; SOE Operative (author) says: Oct 3, 2007. 4:30 AM
Oh, I see!

Very neat.

Kiteman says: Oct 2, 2007. 8:15 AM
Why does it recognise recognize when we all recognise that it's not recognize?
173
fungus amungus says: Oct 2, 2007. 8:18 AM
Looks to be a British thing. From Merriam-Webster:

One entry found for recognise.

Main Entry: rec·og·nise
chiefly British variant of RECOGNIZE

chooseausername says: Oct 2, 2007. 8:40 AM
So, if British-English language recognises recognise, and if American-English language recognizes recognize, then, I propose that International-English language rekonizes rekonize.
173
fungus amungus says: Oct 2, 2007. 9:01 AM
Oh, you better rekkignize! All right, both proper and improper (I'll let you figure out which is which) forms of the word are now valid.

Yeah, I'm on explorer.

Whaleman says: Oct 2, 2007. 4:02 PM
Cool! Does it recognize "instructables"? (I don't know because I added it to the dictionary I have for Firefox")

Loosewire; SOE Operative (author) says: Oct 3, 2007. 4:54 AM
Indeed it does.

Ahh, beaten to the punch. I was just coming here to announce this.

I waited a while because I thought there was already a topic.
