Yeah. . .um. . .I would say something about your mom calling me, but since I became a father almost 3 years ago, I'll observe the sanctity of the day. It's truly a wonderful thing.

Oh yeah, and firefox 2.0 has a built in spell check,

Heh. That's my point. You don't have to. Firefox does it for you.

yeah I am sure over the years I have now got the "notorious for" not spelling correctly label. Though I value my convos on here I do not usually find it worth my time to properly proof read what I type. Now when I am doing any professional document I absolutely take the time. I usually do I once over to make sure I didnt leave out an important word or that I put "do's" when I meant "don't".

btw I hate firefox. If it was the consumer standard then I would use it. The only time I use it is to rip or edit CSS from a site with ease.

If the general consumer knew anything about computers, the internet, or web standards. . .they would all be using mozilla (i.e. firefox), but the general consumer is ignorant and just uses what they're given. Firefox is top notch. Opera is pretty close behind. The rest are worthless.

You're a professional. You should use a professional's browser.

Hmmm...really?

Back to topic, if there is such a thing in this thread:) I am not fond of spellcheckers either...I think they suck as they just hide the fact that a poster can't spell. I am also not fond of proofreading a post on a messageboard...

Those that enjoy pointing this out have a bit too much time on their hands or are a bit too anal...IMO. Its kinda like the ego thing with a corvette owner...obviously they are compensating for something...

And I am now getting the feeling that I am still not even on topic:)

Of course, in my opinion.

Well, you're assuming that I enjoy it, so bad form to you, Mister! I don't enjoy it. In fact, it upsets me, but I have a compulsion to assist others in their spelling. I think I inherited this from my mother.

Obviously they are compensating for something? Seriously? How crappy of a statement is that? So you're a psychoanalyst now? There is no ego involved with wanting people to better themselves by using good spelling and proper grammar. I'm not an expert by any means, but I certainly developed this habit while growing up in my house.

Not to name names (Anthony).

I LOVE spell check because I can't spell!

Hehe...you almost had me convinced that all other browsers were worthless:)

Garr...calm down...I was simply stating an opinon, and a HUGE generalization at that...no need to take what I said as a personal attack. I didn't direct anything at you, and seeing you don't actually "enjoy" it, then you are exempt from my generalization, right?

My assumption that people "that point out typos" are compensating for something, is no better (or worse) of a statement than a prior thread comment about corvette/p*nis size...and there was no uprising there...

Oh, and if you want me to be "thorough", I will also say that people that don't use spellcheckers have a tendency to think they are good spellers already (i.e. may have an ego). Or are just to lazy to install or use one...I could go on, but I won't...next time, please don't assume I am directing my comments at you. I am perfectly capable of picking up the phone or PMing you if I want to direct my comments at you:)
