Eye halve a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word And weight four it two say,
Weather eye am wrong oar write It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid It nose bee fore two long,
And eye can put the error rite Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it I am shore your pleased two no,
Its letter perfect awl the weigh, My chequer tolled me sew.
 
Whale, eye correct Ted my sent ants.
 
I type with an accent, will the spell-checker pick this up?
 
HEJ! Does this mean I can't type things with a j anymore? :sad:

A few of us here have spell-checkers in our browsers (IESpell, Safari). It's really unnecessary for us to spell-check twice.

Hey, whatta you know! There is a spell checker in Safari! I only started using Safari a few weeks ago, so haven't quite gotten the knack of just what it will do and what features it has. Nifty. Although, all of my spelling mistakes are completely intentional.

PS- I just ran the above message through spell check (the one on this site, not Safari) for the fun of it. It picked up "whatta" but not "ya"...hmmm. I taught it my name (it thought that was spelled wrong too), and it also needed to learn "rofl" is okay.

When someone clicks "learn," does that add the word to the dictionary for everyone, or just for that user? Afterall, all we need is one notoriously bad speller who thinks they aren't to teach it all sorts of bad words to render it useless if it's saving what it learns to a common dictionary. :devil:
