Firefox fails at spellchecking.

Post by Caydr »

Reply to this post. Use the word "combinations".

Is there a better dictionary I can use or something? I have to wonder if the recent resurgence in internet forum illiteracy has something to do with Firefox telling people they're spelling words wrong all the time.

combination's << hahaha that doesn't show up as spelled wrong.

I more have an irritation with the fact that it uses British English for spell checking. That's freaking annoying.

Wut. British spellings ftw!

@ Forb: What if someone's name was Combination? "Combination's dick is massive".

Operas dictionary sees the word "the" as wrong, so thats a big no.

eh? My spellchecker marks 'modelling' as incorrect. It also marks 'spellchecker' as incorrect. :(
