Now I am probably gonna get stick for this... I am already known as the spelling police on another forum :lol:

Some of the posts on here are verging on illegible. I actually had to reread one 3 times yesterday to work out what the OP was trying to say! I guess they are written in a hurry or by people that aren't paying attention but it really grinds my gears! Surely there must be a nice aspell (or similar) plugin for vBulletin?

Then we just need a grammar checker... correct punctuation is free you know!

Don't all browsers have a spell check in them now? I know google chrome does (although weirdly it's put a red squiggly line under google!)

Clearly not, judging from all the posts we get on here :lol:

IE8 certainly doesn't, in Firefox it's an addon isn't it? The only reason Chrome does is because they 'borrowed' webkit from Apple and Safari has had a spellchecker in it for ages.

Besides, doing it forum-side is the right way of doing it, you don't have unreasonable expectations from your client device that way.

I'd be fine with your local dialect Moley Smile

I already have a spell checker addon in the version of Firefox that I use, so doesn't bother me too much.

What I do dislike is txtspk online/in emails - one thing if you are limited to 160 chars in an SMS message and using a tiny phone keypad, but when you have a full keyboard/no limit, can't we all just spell words out properly? </rant>
