Spellchecking.
Sometimes spellchecker can auto-correct the most baffling things, and ruin your shit. Usually its pretty good, and obviously correcting teh to the has made us all able to progress from the early 2000's. But whats the stupidest auto-correction you've ever had, and what words does it seem unable to recognise?
For example, my ms works decided that instead of ' Ikenberry ' i really meant 'iceberg'.

The bit about the iceberg was my favourite part of the thread Deffeh.

Re: Spellchecking.
if only we could have a spellchecker on the forums. I really get annoyed with putting everything into OpenOffice Writer when I have written a long or important post. Learning how to spell is really not an option...

Use Firefox Version 2. It's got an inbuilt spell checker

Re: Spellchecking.
Not picking up 'thus' when it should be 'this'.
Not a spelling-mistake as such but it is annyoing.

You must not be paying that much attention. In the upper right side of the control box (opposite where you play with fonts and add links/pictures) for entering posts is the little ABC with a check mark to signify spell check. It does require you downloading an add-on, but it's always been there as far as I know.

Perhaps you should switch to a different one than Google, or in the case of that post, maybe you forgot to use it.
I do see improvements though.

Re: Spellchecking.
I didn't flame you, I just genuinely didn't think that your spelling was that bad although it does look like you've used a spell checker on it.
You asked to point out mistakes in your posts which I did.

Re: Spellchecking.
he found a picture on an old webspace of mine and photoshopped it onto a picture of a female.
Sadly for him the picture wasnt of me, it was of my friend tony.

Re: Spellchecking.
just for the record i would have gone 1 step further and made a bebo/myspace page with said picture and recruited an army of imaginary friends all with the promise of 7 seconds of love in front of a webcam.
I would have carried this out from an internet cafe with no cameras so i couldnt be traced.

It's the combination of poor spelling, poor grammar and poor punctuation that is annoying, as it makes posts very difficult to read. As has been said repeatedly before, like providing line breaks with paragraphs, it makes things dramatically easier to read.
