For those who can't spell

[maxalmon]

I broke my neck 2 years ago in a serious motocycle accident, longterm neuro problems are short term memory, math and spelling, I get really frustrated at having to spell words and hate having to jump over to webster all the time.
.
I just discovered that if you have the litttle google search toolbar on your Internet Explorer page you can just type in a few letters of the word your trying to spell and it has a popup that is much like a dictionary, just don't hit the "go" button and then backspace to remove it. As long as you can guess the first 2-4 letters, the correct spelling will popup along with several other words that may be relevant..Jim

its good to know about the tool bar though!

Firefox also has a built in spell checker in their new version. If you left click where you are typing there is a "spell check this field" option....

I use a spell checker in IE toolbar sometimes. I too, have had my share of bike wrecks, street and dirt, not too banged up these days though. That would be frustrating to me also.

Ha I've been using that tool for a long time.
I'd like to say for the record, a lot is two words not one (alot is wrong). My biggest spelling peeve.

Did you know that "downtown" wasn't a legal word, or rather wasn't listed in the dictonary until a few years ago.
