Was going through a couple of posts this morning and noticed that some people suffer the same problem as me and miss spell the same words.

I have great problems typing FROM, i always type FORM for some reason and because its technically not a miss spelt word my smell checker doesn't pick it up either 

People who can't use the correct word sometimes gets me as well - people that don't know the difference between brought & bought wind me up lol

So have you got a pet hate miss pronounced word or a common word you always miss spell?

My only pet hate currently is MLF's spellchecker

Hi Barney

I'm informed that our spell checker actually comes from your browser, so it utilises whichever default setting you have on there.

Eg - if you have Google Chrome it may be set to English USA, not English UK and you will need to set the default to the UK spell checker. It will be the same for Firefox. IE or whichever browser you use.

Thanks Clive, still cannot use MLF on IE just keeps showing the mobile site, so I have to use Firefox and not sure how to change it to English UK, still on the ipad it works ok. Not too fussed though as this computer will soon be in a landfill site somewhere soon... Will then just stick with Apple products..


Thanks,

Barney - We have had our coder look in to this and we genuinely cannot replicate the issue.

If anyone else has the same issue as Barney and is showing the mobile version of the forum on a PC/laptop using IE11 please could you contact myself or Steve.

We would love to get to the bottom of this blip.

Thanks

IE just keeps showing the mobile site”
 

Hate bugs like this. We've tried everything short of slaughtering goats trying to replicate this issue.

As Clive says, if anyone is inadvertently taken to the mobile site when browsing on any version of Internet Explorer, please let us know.

Ref the spell checker, Firefox browser by default uses the USA spell checker. For UK you have to install the UK Dictionary option or English (British) as they call it.

Here's the help guide from Firefox:

To be honest it's probably my computer, I was quite happy with just IE never had a problem with it ever. Then along comes Google chrome and cloud and whether you want it or not it just auto downloads regardless. Some people just like to keep things on their computer straightforward and simple, just like their owners!


Thanks,
Barney
