Hi Friends,
Mostly I type my discussions and response in word document to check spelling before I post on MyLot but that is a time taking task and was thinking if MyLot is able to check spellings on the run. It would be good to see this feature on MyLot posting area.
I believe that it will help me to save some time and learn some spellings as well.
What do you think?

Hello my name is Sarah and I can't spell well! When I was in school I carried a mini dictionary with me at all times. I would welcome spell check here at My Lot. I may never learn how to spell but at least I can see when I do get a word wrong. You should write My Lot and ask for a spell check. I will if you will.

hi ajay,,,,,,i also think there should be spelling checker in mylot......because i am not confident about my spellings.....but the thing is i have activated my browser as spelling checker....whenever there is a spelling mistake my browser underlines the word with red ink and i just correct that word....this is so useful for me due to this nowadays i am having very less spelling mistakes....so just activate spelling checker from your browser and everything will be all right

I type fast and sometime words are not correct and I realize that after posting the response or discussion so it would be good to see a red line on the incorrect word and correct that at the same time.
Thank You for sharing.

Sagar - thats a good idea but again will tconsume some time, if we get to know incorrect word right after typing, we can correct that soon

Check your browser if it does a spell check. I'm using a Firefox browser, and it already has this feature.

I agree that Mylot should have a spell checker option. I use Firefox and I do not see where there is a spell checker for when I type responses on Mylot I would have to type on my word program and then copy and paste and that is time consuming.
@AjaySinghBaghel (5506)

yeh, even I do type my response in word and then paste here that is time consuming.

I have spell check here. I think I put it on my preferences on my computer. If I type a word wrong, it gets underlined until I correct it. I have it everywhere and not just here so that is why I'm thinking it is something I checked when setting up my computer. I even have it in my e-mail. Check out your computer settings.

Perhaps I need to learn about it, I have on emails but not on Mylot. Will check that.

Yep I agree. I am nearsighted adn normally a good speller and typist but now and again I find that my finger slips and I have atypo and most of the time I never see it until the comment is posted even though I read over sometimes - not all the times though to be honest.

We are in hurry and by mistake there are chances of wrong spelling, it would be good if MyLot can show a red line for mistakes .
Thank you for sharing.

Are you doing mylot in IE. Then you will have to check personally every time for any spelling mistakes. Try, mozilla's firefox and you will have the spell check automatically. You can easily correct them before hitting the submit button.

Yeh, I am using IE and I do check spellings manually but sometimes its fast tyoing and I tend to misspell so would be good to have Spell check on MyLot.
Thank you for sharing.

So I look forward to the feature,myLot?

Why to be dependent on Browsers and have own spell checker .

Having a spel checker would be an over-kill, and mike has pointed out the reason. Another software that can be used with most text is TinySpell. I have used it and found it to be good. Maybe you should give it a try.
TinySpell has many options including checking the spelling on the fly,and the option to add new words to the dictionary.

I do not see any problem that we might face because of MyLot having own spell checker. It is ok to check spellings with the help of other softwares.
Thank You for sharing.

I don't know if it's my browser or the computer I used. If I use my desktop computer to post on myLot, there's an automatic spell checker which would underline any misspelling but if I use my laptop to post on myLot, the spell checker doesn't work even though I use the same browser which is Firefox. I'm not tech savvy so I don't know why that is.

Other friends told that Firefox has build in spelling check and that may be doing your job.

I totally agree with a mylot spellchecker. it would save on self embarrassment when you post your response and then you see your typo. All you can do is scream inside and hope too many people don't notice. My lot could be saving a lot of stress with a spellchecker.

I heard about this....how come you be so patient to write your post in your word document and then cross check it for typos and then copy and paste in here...ohh that is really tedious.I just type in spontaneously and some typos do creep in but they're fine than to use MS word to correct them.Spell checker would be so good if they can provide us with.great day.

Sunny, I type all my new discussions in word and than post it on MyLot, that is my point to have spell check on MyLot.

I am using SeaMonkey and I have an in-built spell checker working fine here. Firefox and Chrome have also spell checkers. If you are browsing the web with Internet Explorer you can download iespell : it is a spell checker free for personal use that spell checks text input boxes on a web page. You can download it here : http://www.iespell.com/

We can have all these third party support for MyLot but I am talking about MyLot own spell check and not by other parties. I still feel that MyLot should have spell check facility .
Thank You for sharing.
