Spell checker in myLot?

I've just been thinking... Is it possible to add a spell checker to myLott? English is not my native language and I use to check my spelling all the time. I'm not a software wizard too, so I wonder can myLot facilitate our writing like Word do it?

I think it has a built-in one. Well, I'm not sure if it's the browser I'm using or it's a facility of this site, but each time I type in a comment, like now, it does underline misspelled words or typo errors. It's not however as deep a vocabulary as I want to, but it's sufficient. I mean, there are words that are perfectly acceptable but it still underlines them. Acceptable contracted words are limited also.

My spell checker doesn't work. I can't understand if I need to download a dictionary. Here is a suggestion from Mozilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary/ Do I need to add this to Firefox?

I surely could use something like that, since English is not my native language either and I probably make lots of mistakes without even noticing :S

Hi, Pietro! Wow, it works now, my Mozilla spell checker! Your name was the first underlined word since I use this browser. But I had to download a dictionary. If you use Mozilla, here is the page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary/

i think that would be a wonderful idea, maybe Mylot will think about it for a future feature, I think it would be a good thing.

Hi, Lilaclady, it would be nice for all those who don't use browsers with a built-in spell checkers. I've just discovered, thanks to Owlwings and Mike that Mozilla has one and now it's easier to write! Have a good day!

If you use Chrome or Firefox as a browser you can download a spell checker either in English or Americanese all the best urban

Regarding spell checker, mylot has this feature. If you are referring to grammar...like using WORD..I hope mylot will have that feature...

MyLot has a spell checker? Really? I don't mean grammar, not so much. I want just to see my mistakes get underlined.

Well, you could adjust your browser settings to English! My Mozilla Firefox browser is preset to English and it provides a spell check when I type in text fields like these! It's very convenient for myLotting and typing pretty much anywhere that requires a response! I really do recommend you change your settings, but be very careful because spell check can alter your words, and possibly your overall response! A computer cannot correct language. :P

Yes, Dellessimon, the computer cannot write in your place. I downloaded a dictionary and now the spell checker works.

I sometimes check my spelling because of my English is not my native language but it seems I started doing quite well. still nice to check spelling because sometimes get so misunderstandings. success. nice day!
