Bobdude Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 How come there isn't a spellcheck button in the newly updated/upgraded posting window?
MrObsessive Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Bob, if words are misspelled, they are in red underscore. I'm using Firefox 6.0 and that's how it shows up on my end if something is spelled wrong. Right click on the red underscored word and the correct one will show up (several perhaps). Now one has to KNOW the correct usage to still pick the right word!
Harry P. Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Or if you're really serious about getting your spelling right you can write your post in Word or some other program that has a good spell check feature, then copy and paste to your post here. Of course, someone as well-versed in the English language and all of its nuances as I am doesn't need to do that...
59 Impala Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 "Elements of Style". I know what that is. It has something to do with how a model looks with what ever you use to change how it looks. Right? As fer spellin wurds write I do all the time in my book. So loosen up and enjoy the hobby. Quit comlpainin about the little stuf. Have fun dudes and wear's the moticons that you guys use? I kneed them bad. LOL. Have a nice day and build somethin enstead of complainin. Lt. Dayan
Monty Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) How come there isn't a spellcheck button in the newly updated/upgraded posting window? Because it would deteriorate from neglect. If you were to believe some in here, spelling doesn't matter. Edited August 31, 2011 by Monty
Bobdude Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Mr. Geary, Thank you so much for your input as far as the missing button.My hat is off to you,two times,once for being more computer oriented and also for being a dynamite modeller.
SuperStockAndy Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 No, he also showed up to pour more gasoline on the fire when somebody lost it and flamed me. Don't feel like the lone ranger; guess we're both on his 'favorites' list! Yup...
Chillyb1 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 If one doesn't use perfect spelling and grammar they are not welcome on this forum? I can't believe this thread has gotten this far and nobody has yet pointed out the pronoun-antecedent disagreement in the original post.
Harold Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I is a rilley gud speellir. I wuz top uv my klass wen I gridumitated the thurd gred.
Danno Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I can't believe this thread has gotten this far and nobody has yet pointed out the pronoun-antecedent disagreement in the original post. 1. You just did. 2. Sometimes somethings are just too obvious. 3. Good job!
Harry P. Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 This topic needs to go away..... It would, if you guys would stop making posts.
Guest Johnny Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 It would, if you guys would stop making posts. Excellent observation Harry! oops! Guess I didn't make the same one!
thatz4u Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 while you earthlings were'nt looking WE have taken over your planet!......
Harry P. Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 While I agree, YOU also have the power to stop it. I hate to lock threads; it seems so authoritarian. As long as people aren't savagely attacking each other, I say let the members decide for themselves whether a thread is worth their time or not. If members find the thread useless, they'll stop posting and it will drop down the page and soon disappear. But as long as people keep posting about how upset they are that a particular thread is still going on, all they're doing is helping the thread live another day. You're perfectly free to completely ignore this thread if you find it offensive, boring, inane, stupid or whatever. Yet you keep posting here and that just prolongs it. BTW... very clever with the "hidden" message... but the mod sees all...
Harry P. Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Hidden Message? I know not what you speak of! (DANG! the secret is out !) Dang, I think you do...
Agent G Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 while you earthlings were'nt looking WE have taken over your planet!...... Not while my people are around................................... G
SuperStockAndy Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 BTW... very clever with the "hidden" message... but the mod sees all... LOL Thanks Harry, never would've noticed that if it wasn't for you.
Guest Johnny Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 If I were a employer, and someone filled out a application or resume the way some write here on the forum, in NO way would I hire them. Being able to communicate in written form should be a key thing.I feel the way some write here is plain inconsideration and laziness. If employers would have thought that way in 1941 we would have lost the war because they would not have been able to build those impliments of war that we needed immediately for lack of "acedemically qualified" workers!!
Junkman Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Why is it that most people writing in this thread seem to be in impeccable command of the English language? There are a few typos, but apart from those, I only see very good spelling and grammar in here.
scalenut Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 .... spell-check...it works for me automatic...so I don't have to remember how to spell anymore
oldscool Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 God forgive me for starting this insanity. I can not believe this is still going. gus
