Apparently some don't have spell check. Honestly if I am on my work machine I don't either and I am too lazy to pull from Word. Well that and stray code drives me nuts. So
I know IE has it but IE is the devil, so if you have it on your computer make it go away. Both Firefox and Chrome have it as part of the browser. You enable it through internet options. Anything you misspell has a red dotted underline, right click on the word and it will give you a list of words it thinks you are going for. :)
How does everyone else do their spell check?
On my laptop you right click by pushing the right side of the touch pad. If that doesn't work google hot keys. I know there is a hot key but for the life of me I can't remember what it is.
I don't see it as a problem but someone posted somewhere that they didn't know how to use spell check here so I am trying to be a little helper. :)
Theresa I think that is auto fill. God that used to crack me up when my kids used that! :p
Tracy, tools, internet options.
Firefox!
But let's be real here.
This isn't a perfect world and the occasional misspelling on Mamapedia is not that big of a deal!
It's the blatant, obvious wrong words & spellings that slay me: ('post-pardum' for example) that really get me and cast the writer in a negative light.
ETA: IE IS the devil!
tehehe, my kids and my guy refuse to turn off the auto correct on their iphones, so I frequently get texts that say something like
If your blue is over, why not come three weird dogs?
Or
Sorry, I was busy eating my hand, did you want to jump pants money?
grrrrr
Im dont have spell check on my browser, unfortunately I am on my own. :(
And I certainly dont feel like taking the energy to write it in a word document to spell check.
Speaking of energy, I should be cleaning something. :)
my spell check is my brain and that seems to be broken=)
My iPad has auto correction that can be a nuisance, because it selects random words for correction.
Hi J. - really? I do my spell-checking the old fashioned way, especially for a short document like this. I read what I write and then I edit any mistakes.
I use the spell checker in FireFox.
Your comment on IE made me laugh. I agree!
It's funny - my Firefox blocks Mamapedia at work. But Internet Explorer doesn't. Firefox will automatically spell check, IE wont. So unless I write something wrong, I let it go. If I write a long post, I will copy and paste into Word and spell check. I'm not a bad speller - just a bad typist.
Thank You! I am looking on Internet Explorer in my options and don't see it. Anybody know the direct path?
hotmail has it
word has it
I use IE and do not have it on IE (or have not figured it out) so I do my best to read things I write and leave it at that. Some times if I am bored or have time to waste I will copy and paste into Word but really I am lacking in free time lately so I just read through and post.
I feel really out of the "technology loop." I have no idea what IE is or Firefox?
I don't have a spell check, if I'm unsure of spelling I just start typing the word in google until it gives me the proper spelling. I really need to go back to work to get updated on new technology :)
Firefox has the spellchecker on it...so if I type something wrong - it gives me a squiggly red line under the word..
And you are sooo right - IE is the devil!! LOL!!!
I am a horrible speller. Always have been. Wish there was autocorrect on here for sure!
I dont have right click on my laptop can you tell me how to enable spell check with my laptop??? thanks
I just spell perfectly.
tee hee
