Spell check?

[Chiefmcfuz]

I was wondering how many people here used the spell check function that is built into their browser. Do you find it adequate? Do you think it should be able using tense and context to suggest the proper uses for words?

I use the firefox one a bit.

I use the firefox one non stop (I mis spell certain words EVERY time).
It doesn't have words like "can't", "don't", "doesn't", etc... Drives me nuts.
I may look at adding a different dictionary.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

You can add those to the dictionary.

Certain words like Advice, advise, where, we're, were, dyed, died, dead, break, brake, quite and quiet get mixed up all the time and though the word might be spelled correctly the use of the word is incorrect. Spelling and Grammar checks that are built into most browsers usually miss these instances.

2 more to add to that list are affect and effect.

Another word that makes my hair stand on end..

ir?re?gard?less (ĭr'ĭ-g?rd'lĭs) Pronunciation Key
adv. Nonstandard
Regardless.

[Probably blend of [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]irrespective[/SIZE][/FONT] and [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]regardless[/SIZE][/FONT].]

Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.​
