    I see lots and lots of new people joining the forum and many of them are not on top of their english writing skills. I think it would be better if we put a spell check in our forms and request some of the folks to review their spellings before posting.

    It just takes the steam out of a thread when you see lots of people posting message that barely make sense because they have their spellings all wrong.

    Just a suggestion :)

    Promote firefox(browser) it underlines your spelling errors as you type.

    Yep, firefox will automatically checks on every word you type and underline words in red if the word is wrong/misspelled.

    Good suggestions folk:

    I use Safari and it checks spellings as I type; but I can't go and change everyone's browser :) It's would be easier for forum administrators to add a spell check.

    *locomotion* firefox didn't prevent you from writing "firefox will automatically checks". We need a grammar check too :)

    As members have suggested this feature is available to those who feel the need without adding to DP overhead.
