Speaking about spell check...

If you Use Firefox as a Browser instead of IE or Safari it has a spell check built in so you do not have to reply on wacky things that can go on  in forum spell check applications.

Basically as you type it will underline a misspelled word, and then you can right click or apple click on it for a replacement.

Oh, most certainly, and I personally do use Firefox, and its internal spell check.  However, it's always good to know that every function on the forum is vetted and working. :)

I also use Firefox, but as wit all spellcheckers, there are many words that are not in its lexicon, like Firefox with a lower case f and spellcheckers.

Charlie, I would expect better from you and your lateral chess thinking. The joy of your own spell checker is you can add words to the library...Firefox throws it in as a base spellcheck...With your wisdom I would only expect you to have a nice customized spell check.  ???

With my knowledge of tech, I have not yet figured out how to text.  I am, however, willing to learn how to customize a spell check program, Chris.

Adding words to Firefox's internal spell check is fairly trivial.  Right click on the word to be added, and in the context menu that comes up, select 'add to dictionary'.
