hi i was just wondering if it is possible to have an automatic spelling check build in (same as word or outlook) the reply box??
i am dislexic and i can't even write without misstakes in my mother tongue
for me but for shure also for others it would be a great help and an easyer read
I also have Ad Block Plus installed for firefox. No more bandwidth wasting flashy adds or banners. Now i can actually ENJOY some of the sites i like (on in particular: www.hackedgadgets.com is a great site, but there is just too much damn advertising on it! ABP solved that w/o a hitch!

I'm severely dyslexic too so I do sympathise. Spell checkers are good but they won't help you with your grammar and it's still easy to get words like 'two', 'too' and 'to' confused, especially if English isn't your first language.
English is a terrible language for things like that. I'm currently learning a second language and it's made me realise how many things I take for granted in English which would actually be REALLY confusing if you were learning it as a second language.
The problem with the spell checker built into Firefox is it has an American dictionary and it keeps wanting to change my S's to Z's and stuff like that. We all know the Americans don't spell properly, so why they've used an American dictionary I really don't know.

You can get a British English dictionary extension for firefox.
Right click on a field that you want to spell check then choose languages then click on "Add dictionaries".
Dont forget after downloading it to tick the "English United kingdom" option there to ensure that it uses it.
You can also download the dictionaries via the firefox "add-ons" option on the tools menu.
As I'm typing this, there's a little icon just a little up and to the right that looks like . Isn't that on everyones machine and doesn't it do a spell check?

Maybe it's because I have ieSpell installed, but that places it's own entry on the toolbar of IE. The icon for ieSpell is the same but if you check the properties on the icon above, it is definitely a forum item.
Anyone interested can download iespell from here. Maybe someone can install it and see if the icon appears.
