Spell Checker

[Ken Garlock]

As I was poking around WC yesterday, I ran across a post by David Yoho recommending a freeware spell checker "iespell". It is for Microsoft internet explorer. I downloaded and installed it, and I think it is a great tool.

Check it out at - http://www.iespell.com/ :)

Thanks Ken,

The ieSpell Checker is a slick utility. I tend to concentrate on the subject when I am answering a post and try to catch the spelling errors after I am finished typing. Sadly I miss a few mistakes too often and since you posted the link to ieSpell Checker my errors have gone down.

I emailed them and FWIW they don't support Mac format IE and don't intend to. Oh well, you'll all have to put up with my typos:D

For those who wondered:
I'm working on integrating the (already-existing) spellchecker
into the forums. :)

My Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling chequer,
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly Marx four my revue
Miss steaks eye can knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
An die can put the era rite,
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it,
And I'm shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh -
My chequer tolled me sew!

See---------my chequer works also!!!!

Thanks for the great poem!

Here's an extension of Mark Eckman's two-verse poem:

(By Jerrold H. Zar, dean of the Graduate School of Northern IL)

<td valign=top><font size=1 face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">
Wee have a spelling checker,
It came with hour PC.
It plane lee marks four are revue
Miss steaks wee can knot sea.

Weave run this poem threw it.
Your sure reel pleas two no.
Its vary polished inn it's weigh.
Hour checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed two bee a joule.
The checker pours oar every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
Wee wood bee maid to wine.</font>

Of nun eye am a wear.

It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.

Too rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud.
And wee mussed dew the best whee can,
Four flaws are knot aloud.

Sew ewe can sea why whee dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why wee brake inn two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.</font></td>

=============================================
Can we trust our spell checkers to give use the write, ops right spelling all of the time????

I ran both of these poems through my checkers with WORDPERFECT and WORD and they told me the only words wrong were: "chequer" and "whee" ( a lots of grammer errors though). What did you use????

When I right, ops write an article about something, I let the LOML proof read my stuff (she has been a legal sectretary for the last 35 years and the publisher for our radio clubs newsletter) and she says my spelling and grammer is attrocious,what ever that means. HI HI HI HI

Hav a goot day!!!!! HI HI HI

PS: she didn't proof this!!!!! So if this ain't write, there's 26 letters that you have the option to change ore ad two. Arn't we glad we ain't Chineese?????

behind them--

<i>chequer: transitive verb (also a noun variant of checker)</i>
1. To mark squares or draw crossed lines on, chiefly
british.
2. To variegate with different colors, shades or patterns.
(Syn. checker)

<i>whee: interjection</i>
1. Used to express extreme pleasure or enthusiasm.
