Spell Check???
This probably belongs somewhere else. Everytime I read posts here. I say to myself "Man, that clown must be illitiritt, or from Caroliner or somethin!". (Sorry for the redundancy)
Then I see 'fenders at the bottom.
Is there any way I can use a spellchecker when posting? I know I can use MS Word and copy/paste but that's a hassle because I got to use lots of smileys so I won't get beat up at PF.

'fenders,
While clear, correct and concise communication is so desireable in writing... just imagine how restrictive it would be for so many of us. Your posts are, for the most part, all of the above... it's your opinions we question.
This informal world of the internet has made acceptable poor grammar and spelling.... All to the good, I say! This is a forum of ideas not APA/MLA rules. We have members from different parts of the world... most of whom are better practitioners of English than we, the daily user. Are you gonna be the guy who tells Fergy that we don't have a U in motor?
Give yourself a break... forget the spellcheck/grammarcheck or any other such nonsense. Keep us informed with your wealth of knowledge... amused with your wacky crosstalk with certain other members of the group... and do it in that homey colloquial Iowegian we have come to know and love. Best. Himmelberg

Redranger03 is right, it ain't workin worth a flip hear. See 'hands quote above. He only used one "k" in rekkon and it got rite on threw.
Seriously though, I am pretty proud that I actually learned to spell in grade school. I hate it that I can't type. No time for proofreading. I'm short on free time and got a lot of opinions to dispense here.

Just keep going like you are, I'd rather have the good advice than correct grammar. ANd actually, in fact, I have a degree in education from a real acredited university. My brain is actually kind of smart. My fingers attached to these big old hands are dumb. They just follow me around all day.
I believe to get the right click thing to work, you have to d/l a program called .... e spell I think.
Maybe Mr. Speed can enlighten us, please

Oh yeah, After reading Big hands post I remember you have to download a program(free).
Its been so long I forgot about it. I'm sure you just type in ie spell in the browser bar and a search will come up for it and you can download it. I use mine quite often to check for spelling but the hassle of downloading it might too much for some. -4speed
