A few people in this forum have asked about a spellchecker before. I posted about it here (http://www.martialtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=45106#post45106). There is a free solution but regrettably it only works for IE 5+ under Windows. There are other solutions out there but we don't know of any we feel comfortable recommending.

Spellcheckers are a bit of a problem for us on the 'old' side of the Atlantic.

Due to the differences in the way our American/Canadian cousins spell some words anyway, a universally correct spellchecker might not be so easy.

I think even with the odd mis-spelling we all know what is being said, and I feel it is the content of the post, not the spelling or grammar that is important.

Aniway, i lurnt too spel at skool :)

P.S. Why isn't 'phonetically' spelt the way it sounds?

This program allows for you to pick from upto 4 dictionaries, UK-english is one of them. :)

You can also add words, so you'll only have that problem once per word. I write behaviour, etc., myself so I know the issue!
