firefox's realtime spell checker - love it or hate it?
« on: June 15, 2007, 06:38:02 PM »
i think it's pretty cool, but when i see a fat red underline on a word it doesn't recognize, it gets to be annoying more than anything.  pretty slick way to introduce it into the browser though...  surprised no one thought of it earlier.

Is it like how MS Word does it? If so that is pretty neat.

yea, it'll automatically underline misspelled words for you -- while typing in a text box of any kind.

That's pretty neat although I could definitely see how that could be more annoying on the internet than in a text document.

Yet the majority of your posts are still full of horrible typos.  Go figure!

I'm with hyp on this one- it's kind of annoying to see words that I KNOW are spelled correctly but aren't recognized.  I rarely ever misspell anything anyhow.

If I didn't have firefox spell checker...well, Whiteman would have took both mine and his head off with a shot gun a long time ago.

When you run into a situation like that, just right click, and 'Add to dictionary'

Yeah, but that takes like 3 whole seconds.  I'm trying new ways of being lazy.

I love it.

I do hate accidentally adding a misspelled word to the dictionary however.

I use FireFox and I don't have that. If it asks me to update I'm definitely not going to. The MS Word spell checker pisses me off enough.

Haha, I was wondering about that.  I thought maybe some crackhead nabbed it off my porch or something.  No rush, wheneva.
