Please read: A general guide for using the Forum with some rules and tips especially point 6 :
6.-) We ask that you take care when writing and avoid SMS type short hand. We advise you to use the FMF spell checker on your text before you publish it.
Also, you can always prepare text in a word processing package, such as Word, and then do a spell check on it. Then copy and paste it into the FMF.
Or you can use the spell check now built into Firefox (to turn this on look under Firefox>Options>Options>Advanced>’Check my spelling as I type’
If you are using Internet Explorer you can install a spell check add in such as ‘iespell’ to help you. |
