Jason,
I am sure that you have many things to do that would be a better use of your time but for the sake of the English language and some of our (the registered members) sanity would you consider adding a spelling check utility to the "newtopic" and “postreply" pages of the forum. I know that it would then be up to the user to actually use it but I am sure that many would. There, of course, would be considerations to be made as far as what to check and avoiding checking code segments but I think that it would be worth it. I understand that there are many members for whom English is a second or even third language and by no means do I intend any disrespect towards them but after reading most of the posts I felt compelled to address this issue. It is, by far and large, posts from people that natively speak English (slang ignored) that I find to have the worst spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
I, myself have to check my posts and any other thing I write carefully to avoid poor grammar and spelling mistakes but I at least make a concerted effort to avoid errors and mistakes. PHP (or any other programming/scripting language for that matter) doesn’t tolerate even the slightest error.
Thanks,
Direwolf

This is easily done with php too. Just need the pspell stuff compiled, then recompile php with '--with-pspell' options.

I will look into the spell checking capabilities...until then, I will add a link to http://www.IESpell.com which may help some people.
