Spell checker

[John Wakefield]

The spell checker is a bit of a pain, requires a down load fron www.iespell.com
not too happy clogging up my laptop memory with all this crap, & possible spam. So you will all have to accept spelling mistakes

[Colin Sparrow]

Spelling errors are part of the charm of forum life. You can always pretend that they're deliberate just to keep everyone else on their tows...

SpellCheck

Interestingly, some forms of SpellCheck on the latest Computers have gone all PC.......

In the Black Country (although that term is eradicated whenever Councils in Walsall, Wolverhampton, etc try to use it !), the word 'FAGGOT' has sent IT systems into global meltdown. Apparently in the US its a derogatory term for exceedingly effeminate homosexuals, (whatever they are ?).
So, whenever 'Faggots & Peas' are entered it is translated as some form of Sado-Masochistic sexual practise involving Urine and certain strange men. As to boiling Faggots in Onion Gravy !

If you really want to send shrieks of feminist outrage into the heavens try entering the word 'Fanny'........#

Wierd people these Yanks

[Colin Sparrow]

That will be the US spelling of "weird" then Peter?

[dave higgins]

Faggots & peas involved in sado-masochistic sexual practice connected to strange men & urine!!, my god!! it`ll be captain birdseye next?.... dave.

All I saw was "YANK" and "FANNY" so I went looking for the manual. Wasn't in the index.

Must be a later model.
