How many of you people use google's spell-check as a spell check for things besides searching

 

I was A: Not aware Google had spell check.
B: Not in need of spell check.

 

Sounds like a Phil Collins Comeback Tour name.

Google toolbar has a built in spell checker so maybe that is what the poster was referring to?

And on that note..I also don't get the WTF poll option...

 

And you call yourself a moderator

 

Very Funny

Heads Up!

 

It swiftly hit it's target..as did my mini highlighter.

 

I use it for translating french crossword solutions while I sip coffay
I also think the WTF was to catch people off guard...or was it the question?
I clicked it, I was like WTF...Google has that??
darn trick questions! so hard on me noggin
lol

 

i use iespell when i'm on IE, and abcspell when i'm on firefox, both of which i was steered to by MG. both programmes work well enough for me.

 

I'm thinking the WTF option is for people like me and Sgt. Tibbs who didn't know what the heck the original poster was on about.

But now it's been explained, yeah, I've used it a couple fo times to check on spelling, but more to check on a meaning of a word or its origin.

 

the spell check option is when you type a word incorrectly and google says "did you mean Insert word here"

for example if you search for the word "yourg" it asks if you mean "young"

i should have explained better and not called it spellcheck sorry

 

and the wtf is for people who don't know what it is

 

It just doesn't seem practical to me to have to go to google and type in a word to see if google has a suggestion for how to spell it. Especially not when there's www.dictionary.com right there just waiting for you to use it.

 

The most pratical solution if you're using IE is ieSpell, and for Opera it's Aspell.

Don't use FireFox, but that has spelling extensions.

ieSpell is great in that it adds a spell check button in the message box on sites that use vB, like this place.


I also have the Google Toolbar which has a spellchecker, but the other solutions are neater and simpler.

 

No it's not, but you don't have to.

Google Toolbar has a spellcheck feature, which can also be set to Autofix, or you right-click on the highlighted error for a list of possible suggestions.


It's still not as quick and easy as browser extensions.

 

Does Firefos have an x extension?

 

so then WTF stands for
or we must not know that also

WTF is an acronym for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, or World Transsexual Forum.

It can also be Welcome To Finland.


I think it should mean Where's The Fridge.

 

In MY world it stands for "Who's That Freak?"

 

In your world, doesn't it mean When Toni Farts?

 

...umm...I wasn't going to mention THAT!..and don't even THINK about the other possible "F" word!!!

 

I use Google for that once in a while. Don't need spell checkers all that often, but for something exotic, that Outlook doesn't recognize, if I've got a browser open (usually) I'll type it into the Google bar and usually get a correct hit. Just used it today to find the proper spelling for Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It's quicker than going to a website for spelling, and usually gets it right.

 

I don't use Google Toolbar (I still remember when it was spyware, and see no need for it), nor do I use any of the spell check programs. Much like G.T., I rarely need to check spelling, and if I do, I just use dictionary.com.

 

I use Firefox's Googlebar Lite extension, which lets me trim to just the basics I want.

 

I always have one Google IE window open for searching,if I'm unsure of a word just type it there,google will correct the spelling 'did you mean ££££'

 

i really didnt think this thread would explode in the way it did.
i thought of a new reason why wtf was there- it made people post more than if that option was not,(talk about bad rationalization.)

 

Errrr...put down the bottle of chardonnay and take three steps slowly backwards Halo

 

Incredibal as it sounds, I don't need a Spel chekor.

 

I never had a problem spelling. I don't use a spellchecker, even though it would correct my more frequent problem of typos.

 

I use the Google Toolbar spell checker quite a bit.

But I do not use Google it's self as a spell checker.

 

google has various other features as well as as spell check , for example there is a "define" feature.

I'll try and find a list of google commands for you all =]

Par Example.


Anyway enjoy.
