I was reading the post about Punks and Skinheads when I had one of those 'eureka' moments.
For all the people who are too lazy to type their post into word and for all those people too lazy to learn how to spell. Bart i hope you read this and maybe try it. Is there a way by which a 'spell check' button could be placed between the 'Hook me up!' and 'Preview' buttons? Alternatively an auto spell check would be really easy.
I would like to apologise in advance for 2 things:
1. If this idea has been had already (I'm newish to Uber)
2. If I have and spelling errors in this or my other post.
+2 if you like this idea and don't be afraid to suggest extra ideas for the improvement of Ubersite.
Punk on,
Pete

I'm not going to read the reviews.
Put it in Microsoft Word before you post it.

"I" goddammmmitttt
For fucks sake, If you are gonna go on about shit at least fucking proofread or, ya know, use word and stuff that would have corrected that automatically. Wooooooo great fun being anal towards people who are being anal.
i miss one out of how many? That is force of habit by the way, Bart gets a capital, i do this as a form of humility.

Some forums force you to use spellcheck before you submit. Still, if you can't spell, then you deserve to get caught up on it and get a lower score for it.

If you are too lazy to spell check yourself Bart shouldn't waste his time and server energy correcting your mistakes. Errors tell you a lot about the writer anyway.

I could program an auto-spellcheck, but which dictionary would we use?
British English?
Canadian English?
American English?
Australian English?
All of the above?
Could you program a bit that will decide where the poster comes from/is located and spell check accordingly? That would be cool.

The ability to spell is what defines us from those who get comments that say "Shenanagins"
Though I do like the idea.

it's a good idea, but here's the way I see it
if you can't spell simple words, then you're a moron and should have all your internal organs sandblasted. more complex words are a little different and for the most part are easily forgiven.
again, i think the spellcheck would be a good, useful feature. god knows we could use something like that ever since the search feature was disabled

Siren, I will amend my apology to include my incorrect sentence structure and my poor grammar. They do not drill these things into us at in Australias schooling system as they seem to in yours. Nor do they require us to complete English classes at a tertiary level.
"For all the people who are too lazy to type their post into word and for all those people too lazy to learn how to spell."
This sentence was written in a hurry. I was near to losing my train of thought. My apologies, I am trying.
Tinactin, my spelling is fine, just tell me/Bart if you think it would be a good idea.

That won't do. The trolls (and by trolls, I mean Bart) live and die by the spelling errors. They strive to show you how much better they are by pointing out your fallibles. Repeatedly. Thats why I don't give a fuck.
Recognize, G.

Most people will probably either tell you to fuck off, or suggest that you learn how to spell on your own.
