Spell Check
Wouldn't it be a nice feature to have the possiblity to do a spellcheck before you post?
For all those non native english speaking persons (and those who use their memory to memorize sparepart-numbers instead of basic spelling rules).
I don't want to offence anyone, and strictly speaking for myself I find it sometimes very difficult to translate the message I want to say in a way that I think anyone will understand what I'm trying to say (If that make any sense to you).
In fact it even keeps me from posting sometimes because I first have to search for the proper words and phrases (well, maybe that isn't too bad) and rephrase it if I get stuck, even feel embarresd/uncomfortable not knowing how to spell a word or verb correctly.
I know I can first write my post in Word or such and put a spellcheck but I'm dutch, my spellchecker is in dutch, if I want to change that it takes a few actions and I've got to take those actions again to put it back in Dutch.
Susan and Grant, I don't know if you are familiar with http://www.CoolHomepages.com , years ago (when I liked computers more than playing in the dunes) they already had a basic spellcheck on their forums and they still do.
I really don't know if the program you use to maintain this forum/hubb is capable to implament such a module but it would/could be very practical (maybe even educational  )
Take a look at their forum and press reply or post topic, you can see the button at the botom (between 'submit' and 'clear').
regards!
