122409 2003-02-19 07:33:00 From time to time I make the odd typo, Booboos, Stuff up or mistake.

So I have been trying out the spell check again on PressF1.

It doesn't understand things like NTFS, FAT32, FAT16 and other computer related terms.

Now this I can live with and all words the PressF1 dictionary does not understand will be highlighted in red. If I want to change anything in the spelling I can.

My complaint is that I just can't read the post and click Ignore All assuming I am happy that I have made no spelling errors. Click Ignore All and the checker won't.

Maybe it would be better to copy the post I am replying to, paste into Word and use my own dictionary.

122410 2003-02-19 09:47:00 I agree Elephant, I tried out the spell checker too and found it more a hindrance than a help dot_com (558)

The spell checker is also North American - favor v favour etc.

122412 2003-02-19 19:36:00 It comes with the software which is from the good ole USA. It also isn't computer-specific. We did put a whole bunch of words in there but there are still gaps. Biggles (121)
122413 2003-02-19 19:50:00 Why not try this free IEspell Check (www.iespell.com) link prog, by just highlighting followed by a right click? Trev0 (1995)

I like nz,
but this (something.orcon.net.nz) particualar suggestion in the spell check really annoys me
