Spell check won't help. We need a txt --> English translation program.

I certainly need it. I spell terribley, don't proof read and just seem to let my fingers do as they want and read along with it.
Yes we need spell check.

Yoy've got my vote. I'm an engineer and we somtimes pride ourselves on our inability to spell(to busy doing important things). But sometimes my words are so far off they are unreconisable.

When it's typed like the above, or people use r for are, or U for you etc I just skip over that post.

I don't have time to translate and figure if the poster didn't take the time to type correctly in English to effective communicate, he didn't think it was important enough and neither do I. It's just not worth my time.

Default Add Spell Check to your Browser

You can add spell check to your INTERNET browser by using ieSpell...
http://www.iespell.com/download.php

It's a free download that allows you to spell check anything you type on screen while in the INTERNET. It adds an icon to your browser "abc" that you just click on to check the spelling of what you've just typed.

Very handy and I use it all the time... thanks to Bill Curlee... C5 electrical guru extrodinaire... for bringing it to our attention...
