Thanks for the link to the IE spell checker, 35forever. I've downloaded it and will see how it goes. Cheers!

Yeah, but does IE spell do Australian spelling? We don't want to turn into Americans do we?

Cam, your good-natured punctuation lesson was taken in the spirit intended and was not one of the antecedents of my harangue. As Joel pointed out, it was a separate thread and not one of the uninvited obnoxious grammatical critiques that have become a scourge on the board of late.


ok, cheers

ie spell allows you to use GB or US spelling (not Australian unfortunately - although it has Canadian!).

Dont worry, we wont be "organizing our colors in the center" like a bunch of Seppos!

Like others, it is the sms speak that pisses me off more than anything, I don't really care about spelling.


Do we call it SMS speak, or do we call it laziness?

Usually, I am not that worried about SMS typing on MSN or in a chat room, but once you get it on the forum it starts to be very annoying.
