spellcheck

How about a spellcheck module for the bulletin board? I know such plugins are out there...

Really though, if people won't even glance with the preview button what makes you think they'll take the time to spell check?

It would also be a real pain with a checker going over 'Kimi Ga Nozumu Eien' or whatever anime series name and finding fault in every word.

It sounds like a really good idea.

But I can't help but wonder what about those who use short forms for everything. Do you mean that spell check would be an option, like an extra button? If so, that could be useful. Though I admit that I'd probably never use it.

Only you, jbone, only you would ask for something like this.

Anyway, how then would we filter out the stupid people? Aside from the context of their posts, of course.

No offense or anything, but personally I never see any conversations, discussions or debats that are worthy of a spell check...most aren't even deserving of a second glance. o_O

Oh the irony. The conceptual being is fallible.
