To our administrators--re: Spellcheck

[hyphenate]

Dear guys,

Can some words be added to the spellcheck function? If so, there are some words which we use as shortcuts and such that would be good to add. I'm not talking anything really weird here, but words and shortcuts like

Gitmo
DUzy
DUer
terra-ist
moran
TDS
KO
clenis
furkit
furkid

and some proper names like

Mukasey
Gonzales
Obama
Ashcroft
Condi
Alito
Scalito
Scalia

and such

would be welcomed, and eliminate the words for spell check to wade through in the final check.

Thanks.

And people: feel free to add to this list, but I don't want to overwhelm our hosts with too much since it can't be easy to add in all the words we really would like to see. If it were possible for it to be done easily, that would certainly be the best choice. :)

2. A related suggestion...

Use a browser with its own spell-checker (or a browser that has an add-on for spell-checking), and then you can add new words to the dictionary as you feel like it.

4. Is it possible somebody might misspell *KO*?

If so, they really should be on that other board. :shrug:

8. what? You don't know about furries?

I am wondering also. How about we contribute other words too? Hmmmm, brain dead, can't think of bad words to be included.

11. Mainly used in the lounge

Furkids=dogs, cats, ferrets, bunny rabbits--whatever the pet may be

Furkits is mainly cats, hence the "kits" part of the word.

12. The lounge has its own language?

13. It's had its own for quite some time!

Ever hear the word "brazillion"?


(And no, I won't do the whole joke!)

9. I never have trusted spellcheck.

According to spellcheck. Spellcheck is misspelled. Talk about a self defeating program.
