Fozzer's dream come true

Postby Hagar » Mon Nov 21, 2005 8:29 am

I've used the Google toolbar for many years & find it invaluable for finding & browsing websites. After some recent PC problems I have a brand new system & downloaded the latest version to use in IE. I spotted a new option on the toolbar that does a spell check of what you type into a topic like this. I just tried it & it seems to work although it might take some getting used to. http://toolbar.google.com/?promo=mor-tb-en

I use the version of the toolbar without advanced options as the advanced version involves sending personal information to Google which I'm always a tad wary of. For various reasons I use IE when visiting this forum. There's also a version for Firefox but for some reason this is not recommended.

PS. Please note that this is purely a spellchecker. It will not correct grammar or find those errant apostrophes. ;)

Don't need that. I assume that my spelling and grammar is good enough to leave that toolbar where it is.

Indeed. I hate spellcheckers myself as they usually correct things I don't want corrected so I usually disable them.

I never had much trouble with spelling & my problem is typos so it could come in handy. These automatic gizmos would be unnecessary if I spent a little more time reading through what I've typed before clicking that darned Post button. ::)

Hagar. The world's worst typist. ;)

::) :D

If you wrote less long posts, that'd be much easier. ;) ;D

Then he could increase his post count ten fold with lots of little posts instead of the rambling monologues we're used to. ;D
