 Off-Topic - Spell Checking
Author: kdk 
Date:   2008-12-05 11:56

This is a fairly trivial question. I'm generally fairly compulsive about spelling and grammar when I post to a BB topic or a mailing list. One of the things I miss badly when I type out posts here to the BB is spell-checking, which I rely on in other settings to catch typos (like missed or transposed letters) as well as outright misspellings.

I'm not aware of a spell-checker here in the BB editor. I think I can have posts sent to my email account and reply from there, where I do have spell-checking, but that won't do for initial posts to a topic. Is there such a feature that I've missed finding, or is this just something that I'm going to have to get over (or keep a dictionary on my desk for the first time in years)?

Firefox has a built-in spell checker that will underline unknown or wrong words....
