I vote for installing a spell check on the forum, makes it easier for me to write proper English so you understand what I'm saying hahaha ;-)

If you use Google Chrome, that has an automatic spell check. Incorrectly spelled words will be underlined in red.

You can also copy and paste your response into Microsoft Office and then run spell check prior to submitting.

A lot of people use crapatalk, which we have spell check/auto correct on our smart phones.

Can confirm, Google Chrome underlines misspellings. MS Office also usually underlines (in green) sentences which appear to be incomplete or have grammatical errors.

Firefox also does the red underlines for misspellings as well.

I don't think you'll find too many pedants here. Your posts are fine anyway.
Yeah I know but I already had one picking on my Spelling and I'm trying not to give any more fuel to that fire if you know what I mean


You may have to set the language to American English.
Yeah that would be a perfect solution but with the change of language it also Changes the keyboard layout *sigh* at least in IE.

I'll check if chrome dos the same.

Here's a Chrome Support page on how to use the spell-check (accessing, changing languages, setting up multi-language support). As it's done in-browser, it shouldn't alter your keyboard layout.

So if I type the same in Swedish I should get a lot of red underlining, right?

Thanks, I need to know stuff like that so I can spell correct next time. I'm kind of a perfectionist so I need to do things 100% to be satisfied with myself.

....spell correctly next...

Not a spelling issue, but grammatical. Figured a perfectionist would like to know.

The grammatical issue is to hard for me to learn on a TB forum hahahaha, I'm happy as long as I can get the words spelled right. It's been just over 10 years sense I spoke and wrote English fluently, when I moved back home in 2004 I was thinking in English and had to translate in my head to Swedish. Man that was a tuff time.

since - not sense

technically tuff is slang and tough would be correct spelling


You do pretty well honestly. Pat yourself on the back and have a beer!

Well I always felt that I spelled since wrong but never bother to check, lazy bum (spelling).
Thanks for those kind words and I'm out of beer :-(

Let see how this works, I guess I now have spellcheck in IE too with a Swedish keyboard layout. I found out that my IE browser is faster then goggle chrome browser.
