If successfully adopted, we could all perhaps reduce Fish's post frequency in half! Ted, I'm sure, will be grateful for the reduced server storage demands.


Fish, I deliberately misspelled all of the words of this sentence. And Firefox caught them all.

It works on "text box" forms, like the GEBB message posting interface, and it looks just like MS Word's spell check. It underlines any misspelled words and then has suggestions when you right-click on them. And you can add words like "Clamato" to your personal dictionary. Won't help with there, their, they're issues, obviously, but at least it will help Fish concentrate on the content of posts, and not the spelling......

So....if you haven't tried Firefox 2, give it a shot.

Did I miss something?

Bob: Since you are an important public figure, you must be especially diligent! Smile

Fish: Bob's above quote to you has an misspelling that spellcheck didn't catch. Now, back to the issues.
