When in love I solicite a look.

I vote for 'solicite' ;-)

I vote for 'solicite' ;-)

Err... actually that'd be "solicit", no?

Very funny.

Whilst an interesting and potentially good idea I don't believe the extra strain it would put on the site would warrant such a feature. And anyway sometimes it's fun to see the typo's that people make, we're only human after all...?

My worst two offenders are teh => the, taht => that, in fact so bad that I have installed a programme that checks the keyboard input and automagically changes them (and many others) for me when 99.99% of the time I misspell them.

Side note: in case you use the best editor ever, just add these two lines to your ~/.vimrc:

I think it would be nice to give yourself a little traning for those specific words that you don't spell right all the time. ie.. correct the mistake that you had learnt long time back, especially when your list is small.? The advantage is that when you have to work in the environment, when your spell checker is not available, you should be ok.

Another advantage is that we can extend to the spoken version ie.. miss-intended words/phrases can be corrected :-)

Bad spelling can be lethal. For example, the greedy Seriph of Al-Yabi was cursed by a badly-educated deity and for some days everything he touched turned to Glod, which happened to be the name of a small dwarf from a mountain community hundreds of miles away who found himself magically dragged to the kingdom and relentlessly duplicated. Some two thousand Glods later the spell wore off. These days, the people of Al-Yabi are renowned for being remarkably short and bad-tempered.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Matthew, 7, 3

I was quoting someone. Those were not my own written words. Anyway, my home node has been updated . . .It needed a change.

Someone should create a script that looks for misspelled words.

Old chagrin!

Look at yourself!

Hey! You try typing with paws! :-)

Someone should ...

Well, jacques? Get crackin'!
