Spell checker

I wonder if it would be possible to include a spell checker here at RHP. It might
be an aid to the many people here who are using English as a second language.
Also, it would definately be an aid to the horde of semi-literate chess players
who are presumably using English as a first language.

It definitely would, maybe you should have a go with one yourself! ;-)

I can see that you "definitely" need it.

You see, that just proves my point. A spell checker would be a valuable asset.

ouch!!

You see what I mean: a spell-checker never would have tolerated this.
So what? Just this one word tells the whole story.

Dear rwingett, better semi- than il. Love the game not the grammar.
P.S. The best spellcheckers are other players. Definitely. 🙂

You see what happens to me? I don't understand the 6th 'word': 'il'.
That's the problem with newspeak: sometimes you don't understand it
(me at least), or is it a typo?

what's wrong with spelling errors, or clumsy sentences and imperfect choice of words, in this worldwide forum? for many players here,
english is not their first, second or third ....., it's the only way that they can communicate here. and that's more than good enough.

Nous pourrions parler français si vous voulez ou peut etre;

Vielleicht wäre es besser, Deutsch für unsere germanischen
Schachspieler zu sprechen,

O mi ha el idioma preferido nosotros podríamos hablar el español.

Og akkurat for Vår Scandanavian vennerlitt bit av Norwegian.

Sorry if this is not quite grammatically correct but hey it just proves a
point ! PS has anyone seen the Hungarian tourist sketch by Monty
Python.... v.funny.

I think it was clear that my diatribe was directed at English speakers who are
just too lazy or sloppy to proofread their posts. Besides, this should give us an
additional topic besides xenophobe for a change.

I think it would be a greater help for Anglo-Saxons. The English used
at the Web has hardly anything to do with 'proper' English. All over the
Web. Not just at RHP. I stick, to the best of my knowledge of English,
to the traditional. Too old to learn that newspeak. But who am I to
make an issue of that? I can live with that. Just don't like
correspondents using the Web-language in traditional mails. Might be
my age, I suppose.
But I like writing. Have done it all my life, both in Dutch and English.
Professionally as well. Might be the reason for being a bit conservative
(on that issue only!).
Chris & Russ have already enough to do. Don't forget that.
