Going mad(der)

[ICIT2LOL]

Am using speckie as a spell check for anything that doesn't have one and it lists "ma" as a correct spelling Now I am English and have always spelt it as "Ma".

Before I go completely cookoo can someone suggest a spell check that will not drive me nuts PLEASE!! because in the above text it lists spelt and cookoo as wrong!!

 

[grits]

I think you mean "spelled" and "cuckoo" ?????

I also use Speckie.

If you right click on the word you can add it to the dictionary and it remember it and not show that anymore

This is what I use. None of them are perfect.

Hmm well we always used something that was already worded wrongly as spelt the right or wrong way as it is current tense ie you say to to someone "it is spelt *******" and is correcting someone on the spelling you can of course say it is spelled ****** but it (to me) sounds not quite grammatically right as you are instructing someone how to spell it.

Now cookoo is the call of the bird of course and we used it as a form of saying that it was driving one mad.

What annoys me is that "ma" and words like favor and flavor color where I always spell them with a u in the last half of the word. But you see I was educated in England and I find the corruption of the language quite annoying at times. Plus being a Registered Nurse I get VERY annoyed at the American spellings of anatomical structures and test terms too. As much as I get a bit testy with Buoy which Americans say as boo-ee and it should be pronounce d as boy as in young male. My last pet dislike is aluminium which is said a as aloominum:huh:

cookoo is spelled cuckoo

Cuckoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and spelt is a type of wheat

Spelt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well I will have to stand corrected then. Never mind I will have to put up with the speckie I suppose

Yep I noticed that but do you have to have Firefox though as I have to have IE9 on this machine at least for my pay office program as they (government dept) are so behind in the OS they use - just went over to 7 from XP about 4 months ago plus I have to keep Java on too that is how bad it is

Yeah, unfortunately mozilla firefox add ons only work with firefox ... strangely!

you could use both, i have ie10 but firefox is my default browser

Small problem 1. I have to have IE9 on my main machine because of my employers pay office system (government) 2. The main issue however insignificant it may seem I have a typing problem insomuch that I type ma for am - a lot and am constantly having to change it.
Now I always thought that ma was Ma meaning as in mother. I even added the UK and Australian dictionaries to speckie but it just doesn't recognise ma as a wrong spelling.
I have tried editing the dictionaries as the authour sent me the zip code for it but no matter how much I try I cannot find that spelling to delete it.
So I guess I am stuck with the problem - word I use that have an ending "our" I can add to he dictionaries and there is no problem it is just that one single word and well you know what it's like you tend to always be aware of it like a low grade toothache.

 

[boohbah]

it doesnt matter you can still have ie9 and use firefox. you could have a dozen browsers,

use ie9 when its for work stuff and firefox for personal use, the forum etc.

anyhow to clear this up,
are you saying you want the spellcheck to stop flagging up when you are spelling ma instead of am,
mi typing this in firefox and the spell check doesnt have a problem with ma.

If it's allowed on your work computer. The way that works for me.
I.E. is always set as my default browser.
Firefox or others can be installed and used as one feels like keep I.E. as default.

This allows me to watch all those tap dancing naked Pigmy's movies we all love and cherish.
