Not that I know of! I think maybe Mr. Feva has mozilla or some other browser that has automatic spell check? :thinking:

I dunno...I just downloaded the latest version last week.

jalapeno

When I right click it gives me option to check my spelling, but it doesn't bring up any corrections. Or, I can go to the language link and download another dictionary.

Did you download the Spanish dictionary or something??

Ok...you win the bet...you successfully got RM to say jalapeņo three times in this thread when it had nothing do to whatsoever with Mexican food.

I didn't think it was possible. :dispntd: :crazy1:

What are you talking about?

Jalapeņo

ok...just kidding...on firefox, it underlines "jalapeno" when I'm typing because I right-clicked "spell check this field." Jalapeno shows up with the red underline, and when I right-click again, it shows jalapeņo. I hope that makes sense.

I think it is! The end of a shoestring is called an aglet!! Ohhhh......Firefox spellchecker doesn't like that word either.

I realize now why I don't want to use the word "tilde". My aunts/cousins/etc. always referred to "that time of the month" as Aunt Tilly! Tilde is just too close of a word the Tilly!

Yes....that's a very common one!!

I don't know where Tilly came from....all I know is I don't wanna associate it with a jalapeno!!:eek: :eek:

Well, if you eat enough jalapenos, you'll end up with the runs.

RM, when you use spellcheck and it gives possibilities, you usually have to click again on the spelling you want.

(And, it'e eyelEt not eyelit.):D

That is SO weird! I have the updated version of firefox at work (or the guy who worked on my computer said I did) and it doesn't underline jalapeņo.....but it does on my computer at homethat supposedly has the older version!!!

I have a curly thing on jalapeņo now!!:D

I will definitely be checking my firefox at work tomorrow!



EDIT: Right after I posted this a box popped up and asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the newest version 3.0.....I know that is what I have at work....I don't like it!!!

I hate the way it brings up the links in your toolbar when you type in a site you have recently visited!!
