Mods, Please Update The DU Spell Checker

[Rage for Order]

You probably use an off-the-shelf spell checker that plugs into the message board software, but is it possible to add new entries to the glossary? I think it's about time that the spell check glossary recognized:

BARACK OBAMA!!!


Who's with me? :)

2. Here's what ya do:

1) Highlight the word that you want added to your dictionary.

2) Click "add to dictionary".


See, simple :)

3. I know I can do it on my end

But I think it's time for this addition to the glossary to be made globally (or at least globally in the DU site-sense) :)

5. In what respect, Charlie?

:evilgrin:

Seriously, it works OK for me. You are talking about the DU spell-checker that you activate by clicking on the 'Check Spelling' button on the reply screen, aren't you? Not some spell-checker you have built into your browser?

6. When I type in the message reply box...

It shows up as underlined in red. Maybe it's a Mozilla thing? Maybe I'm just a moron. Wouldn't be the first time :dunce:

8. Yes, that's Mozilla

I use Firefox, and get the same, while I'm doing the typing; but the DU checker (from that button, as I said) is fine with 'Barack' and 'Obama'.

9. Oh...nevermind then. Carry on

:)

7. Oh no, say it ain't so, Joe!

Doncha know! :hi:

10. I dissent. Anyone who's not sure how to spell "Barack Obama" ...

... is someone I'd like to see identified. :evilgrin: There are some "symptoms" of political attitude that seem to include problems choosing between ...
lose and loose
you're and your
they're and their and there
serious and sirius and series
vicious and viscous
populace and populous
... and several other inflammations of the homonym virus.

:dunce:
