Good news! The spell checker is fixed!

At the top right of the little window where you type your post, look for this image:

After you type your post, if you want to spell check it, click the image.

A new window will open up that is very self explanatory.

I loaded up a dictionary file of COMMON words. As we use a lot of jargon and scientific-speak, latin words, etc. here on our board, we must teach the spell checker new words! Fun! This is a group effort! So if the spell checker is suggesting you fix words that YOU KNOW are properly spelled, please take the moment to click the "Learn" button for each word you would like to teach the dictionary. If you are not 100% sure it is spelled properly, just ignore it, and over time, someone else who is sure may get it in there.

This is quite a useful tool.. as I tested it I found spelling errors that I had made in some posts that I did not intend to make. So even if you think you got it right, sometimes mistakes happen. By making a quick spell check a habit when you post, you too can make the world a better place.
