Hey SirSteve,could or do you have a way to add a spell checker to the post area? This would come in handy for those like me that have trouble with spelling now and then. Just a thought. :)

It would go nuts trying to figure out basic Star Wars words like Jawa, Vader, Wookie and Boba.

I never thought of that. I guess we will all have to put up with missed spelled wordz:D

Exactly the reason there is not one here. Too many Star Wars words not recognized in the English dictionary...

Couldn't you like program Star Wars words into a forum version? Becuase In some word program star wars words come up as "wrong" then I just fix it with a click,save then its correct each time after.

We just don't have the time for it.... you just misspelled "because".

;)

Not only that but when I did look into it, it was a big server hog which is not good.

Thats why we need a spell checker so that simple words like "because" is spelt correct :)

Remember different countries have different spellings to words :)

So then how would a spell-checker do you any good? SSG is an American based site and all the spellings would be American based.

The system could have multiple versions for a few selected countries :)

Maybe the suggestion of a spell checking system should be made to Hasbro ? :crazed:

Nah, that wouldn't fix anything. Hasbro needs to hire a good proofreader. They can spell ok, most of the time. Using the proper words in a sentance is their problem. :D

If it helps them to spell words like Imperial and Federation, I support the idea. :)
