Smarter Spell Check

I'd like the spell checker not to point out the spelling mistakes in messages I'm quoting.


I'd also like the option to automatically spell check when posting as sometimes I forget, hit post and spot the mistake as it's posting!

(A long post, full of mistakes, that we quote, can be a right pain when we want to check our own reply.....Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, gets boring after a while)

Nearly every post i make i always edit because of spelling. It would be fab if it was turned on automatically!

Automatically having your posts spell checked prior to posting would be great.  Being able to either ignore quoted text or highlight the text that you would like spell checked would also be great.

Thanks for the suggestion and extra comments guys. Is the preferred option an auto spellcheck rather than having to accept/reject the suggestions? Thx Kerry

An auto-spell check still prompts the user to correct the spelling mistakes, it basically should just be the same as pressing Spell Check currently except that it happens after you've pressed the Post button.

I don't want a spell checker I will make my own mistakes and I get fed up with spell checkers trying to reject English spellings and replace them with USA ones.

Being able to ignore quoted text  - good idea

 

Auto check not so good Smiley Indifferent as often suggestions are not what was meant - would still like the option to ignore/reject suggestions Smiley Very Happy

 

 

After posting with smileys in I also notice spell check checks smileyindifferent and advises to replace with simple-mindedness! Ironic and very annoying!
