Dan, Please, Please Please, add a spell checker!

Reading some of these posts are killing me to read.

Spelling words wrong that my 5 year old  can spell is just crazy.

Don't read them! I do not have access to a forced spell checker. It's there to use, but some people are just... well, unique I guess. I would suggest the people who like 'unique' read them and the rest pass them by.

Maybe it's really some kind of psychology test we don't know about? Maybe it's simply just too many rough rides on the Big lakes? I don't know.

You should see some of the resumes and other papers we get at work sometime. Atrocious (not a country in the South Pacific)! But somehow, people still manage to pay their car loan and hold a mortgage... and the world keeps moving along anyway.

Hey! Maybe by watching us real good spellers, they'll get better. So if we keep them on here, rather than scare them away (surveys show 27% of the anglers won't belong and/or post on forums because they are afraid of embarrassment from their spelling and grammar skills), we may actually do a major public service over the long haul... and people will actually start saying - "boy! those Americans sure are smart people!?!"

Also the latest version of the Firefox browser has a built in spell checker that underlines misspelled words as you type: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

That's what I use most of the time. It works better with the way this forum is programmed. I'm hoping the IE 7 will work better with it too, but have not tested that yet. They are still working out bugs on that one too much yet from what I can tell.

Still, some guys/gals just gotta be different. So please be tolerant. Read what you want to and skip what you don't. I can't keep up with every single post already anyway.
