A forums Spell check!

I just thought of a good idea. Why not implement some sort of Forum spell check option in our posts? I know I have some difficulty in spelling certain words and some others on here do too. I just think it would be easier to have an option like that in our posts options. I usually go to Dictionary.com when I am stuck on a word, but that means I have to minimize the forums I am on go back to MSN and then type in the address of Dictionary.com. Pretty much bounce back and forth between sites just to get one word. I am not a great speller never was and I think it could be nice to have something like that in our post options. That way it can be convienent and the spelling of some people especially me could improve. Just a thought

It's a good idea ... but ...

1. The one with vBulletin is pretty bad
2. You have to pay to use the service (at least last I heard though).

Best thing to do is type your post in Word, run Word's spell checker, and then copy/paste your post back into the forum.

Really? Wow I dident know an option like that would cost extra. Only if it came included with the package free? It should I think. That is sort of a ripoff for something that minor of an option. How much does that option cost? If I was going to own a web company like that I would include everything in the product at a decient price. But then again I guess thats just how they make their business.

The spell check cost more because it uses there resources so they charge money.

You'd lose out on quite a bit of money there, ol' chap.

Anyways, if we had a spellchecker, 50% of the forums would have no clue what to do. ALl the new foreign spellings, puncuation, coherency... How would the posters survive?
