IE and Firefox spellchecker.

I know there has been much posted in the past about wishing there was a spellcheck add-on for Firefox. Well there is. The Google toolbar has this. Check it out if you want. This is a misspelled word.

There is an Extension for Firefox that allows you to rickclick and check spelling. I've used it since the last thread about Spell Checking. :-)

BTW, how many of you use IE day to day? The reason I asked is the new V4 Beta Toolbar has a cool feature for search that will allow you to set your search page to us. :-)

I'm using B4 of the toolbar.

I use only firefox, except the few bills I have to pay that do only IE. If a site require IE I typically don't go to it. Duck turned me on to the software called spellbound that does spell check for firefox, but it stopped working with ver 1.5 maybe they have fixed it now.

Yup to all the above, Spellbound stopped working, Google Spell Check works now for FF. For IE go to www.iespell.com and add to IE.

I'm 50/50 for browsers. I'm die hard IE because of spell check, but FF plug-ins ROCK, especially Mouse Gestures that allow me to navigate by holding right button and creating a pattern to navigate FF...


PS Attom....

Check spelling.... it's Right Click.....

:rotfl:

Hey, I don't have it installed at work....

Ohh I.C. why look smart..... I'm sure you got them right where you need them A.

LOL

:orcass::fouet:

that is just wrong.

Duck >>>>> <<<< Attoms talented tongue

that's even more wrong. :puke:

Whats a matter Duck? Haven't you ever heard of Engrish? You got a problem with my Engrish? :headbang:

I love it. My wife was in China last year and she said the junk shops were full of mechandise with such disclaimers. she bought a few things because they were just so funny.

and now, simply because I love the spoken word of Henry Rollins:
"Henry Rollins also had many Engrish encounters during his travels. This is a transcript from one of his many hilarious "Spoken Word" sessions (also available on CD): (Rollins Speak in Orange)

So!
Being a fan of the use of language
Being a fan of English, um
I got this amazing letter from a fella named Boris.
And I wanted to read this to you.
He's, he's from um, the Czech Republic.
And I wanted to read you this quick letter by the cat because he's just amazing. And he wrote one of the greatest sentences I haveve ever read in my life and I very much want to share it with you. And I'm not trying to put the guy down, and I'm not saying 'Oh he's dumb.' He's just a cat, he's trying to use English and it's not his language. You know, but he's getting by. Like, how well do you get by in Czech? Right. Help?!? You know, you say 'Check, please!' But you can't get by in Czech. This guy's struggling in English and he's making it! And he's, he is, he is avant. He is, he's bebop! Check this guy out.

This is 8/22/98 12:16 PM, Los Angeles, California
Boris checks in from the Czech Republic with this burning missive:

'Hello Henry,
I'm sorry for my English, but I understand English very little, thank you for your favour. My name is Boris. Have 24 years in right Czech Republic. You played in Czech 2x. Both concerts, they were splendid.'

OK. Check out this sentence.

'On two concert, I'm shootive collective photo but small, fat, bald headed technologist be insane. '

Let's milk it shall we?

'On two concert, I'm shootive collective photo, but such small, fat, bald headed techologist be insane.'

In translation, I think he took his roll of film to Rite Aid and had a bad Rite Aid experience. And you've all had that experience in Thrifty and Rite Aid where time seems to slow down. I think Boris got his film @#%$ up by the technologist who must be WHOOOOOOO!, a bit insane.

I go on.

'I compilation all material for you and band. I would like to read of your some book, but don't publish in Czech language. This book should be successful in Czech Republic.'

Sure.

'I you for very much autograph or publicity material or answer in my letter. Thanks a lot for it. I wish for you, band much power, health, and energy at further way music. Goodbye in future concert in Czech Republic. Boris'

The communique from Boris makes me think of how great a feature-length movie with this use of language would be. Could you imagine an intense courtroom drama with scowling, wildly gesticulating lawyers making a case for their clients, kicking it like Boris? Think of having the air flight attendent come on with an "English as a second language" message. 'For making landing immediate time incredibly, broken moving not now, stupid motor on flaming. I declaration emergency!'

(Henry Rollins, from "A Rollins In The Wry" CD)

ROFL!

Henry rules. I especially love his airport stories.... He's got a few to tell....

indeed.

Just want to thank yous for the IE spell check link, I have been using it for a week now and its waaay easier than typing everything in Word first to run spell check so I don't look like a total goon.

Just want to thank yous for the IE spell check link

Us geeks come in handy once in a while..... :-)
