SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the issue of Internet Explorer 10's spell-check feature automatically changing lowercase "i" to uppercase "I" during text input. The user, Jack, seeks a solution to disable this specific auto-correction without affecting other spell-check functionalities. It is confirmed that the problem originates from the web browser's settings, particularly related to a spelling correction add-on. Jack considers omitting spaces in mathematical expressions to prevent the auto-capitalization.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of spell-check features in web browsers
  • Familiarity with Internet Explorer 10 settings and add-ons

Hi,

I notice my posts now have spell-check which I like but it's also changing little I to capital I which is a problem for me since I frequently make complex analysis posts which involves complex i. . I believe that's my web browser doing that right and not PF? Is there a way to disable the little I to big I auto-correction and not affect the other spell-check corrections?

Thanks,
Jack

It is your computer (probably the web browser), indeed.
Which browser do you use? Any add-ons installed?

Hi, sorry about that. I'm using IE version 10 and I now see it has a spelling correction add-on. But when I go into managing add ons, I don't see any options for managing the spell checker.

I'm just now realizing it doesn't correct it without spaces as in [itex]ig(x)[/itex] but if I were to put a space in it, even in tex mode, it would auto-capitalize the I like [itex]I g(x)[/itex].

I suppose if there is no way to fix this, I can learn to omit spaces when I'm formatting math code with I in it .
