Sorry if this has been brought up before..BUT, having read some of the posts on here tonight, is there any chance of including a spell checker on the Forum?

Correct... However doesn't mean they'll actually use it.

They should either learn to write at least half properly or read the forum rules, innit.

I don't care that much, it just saddens me.

What saddens me is that most of these kids probably can type coherently, but because it's on the internet they think it 'doesn't matter'. This ain't MSN folks.

Incidentally, Firefox has a built-in spell checker which I use (seems to become more useful as the evening progresses for some reason).

There are rules in the Forum Guidelines relating to txt spk.

When I rule the world, spelling and grammar will return to the forefront of the English Language.

So, is anyone going to give a sensible answer, mods, administrator? ^o)

Not my area, guv. This would be strictly for the Juggler or Mr E to sort out.
