265012 2004-08-24 20:00:00 the spelling chequer is knot worken today. I noticed on another posting,

well bugger me, I tell lies again, it worked this time, but on my last posting I spelt negative & negitive and they both went through, and then there was another word my word processor, spell checker picked up that the F1 did not find.

It might intermittant.

265013 2004-08-24 20:15:00 It's now integrated into the telco's SMS spell checker.. :-) paulw (1826)
265014 2004-08-24 20:37:00 Yes, but who compiles the spelling checker??????????

What can you expect with the level of education today?

For 'basics' it is worse than when my Grandmother went to a working class school in the depths of Birmingham in the 1880s, and left at the age of 13, no kidding :)

265015 2004-08-24 21:40:00 It's about the most incompetent thing on this forum but it refuses to learn or improve in any way. It has been a naturalised Kiwi for over two years now but it still insists on spelling ....ise as ...ize, ...que as ...ck ....our as ...or, etc, and has no technical savvy at all. You would think that Jive would at the least have a British English version to get us close to comprehensible. But no, now it can't even understand itself, it's going psycho on us.

I would happily give it counseling if that would help, assuming it is a text file stored on the data base, if someone wants to send it to me with some basic instructions.

265016 2004-08-24 21:47:00 Hmm, just checked the Jive website. English UK is available. That would be a start would it not. I wonder if isuch terms as CPU, RAM, PC, etc, could be added.

To learn how to spell convoluted. :^O

No offense intended Paul, but the opportunity was just too good to let go!

It was too good ;-)

265021 2004-08-25 18:21:00 Well, I'm gobsmacked.
You say there's a spellcheck on this website?
Can't say I've noticed it myself: certainly not in some of the posts....
Maybe it should be placed more conspicuously?
