Spell checker anyone?

Most of you are probably already aware of this. But google offers a free tool bar that opens with your browser.
It has spell checker, pop up blocker, AutoLink (US only)
turns street addresses into links to online maps, and a word translator.
You can disable any feature on it.
It works great, doesn't bog anything down, or get in the way, and it's a tiny download.

I tested the spell checker here on the board. Just type your post, hit spell check. It gives options to ignore or it lists some recommendations and and replaces with your word of choice.

I tested it on a few of Tommy Johnsons posts too. On words like,
Yall, which is "you all"
git, which is "get"
funna, which is "going to"
and this one killed me...if'n, which google says means, "if you would". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

So...If'n ya'll funna git the toolbar, we kin figure out what he's really sayin to us. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
I never say "funna" but I say "fix'n" or "fit'n" a lot. Like, "I'm fit'n to go kill some varmints".

Just thought I'd help broaden y'alls vocabulary a bit. It's obvious that some of y'all are in dire need of some culture. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

BTW, River.....thanks for the info!

Take care,

LOL, It doesn't really spell check Texas slang. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to heckle the culturized. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
I would like to see it get into one of kirby's and okie's conversations. It would shut down the google website trying to figure that out. lol
 
Advice to anyone reading the previous posts: do not do so with a mouth full of food or drink. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif You may choke when you laugh! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
