How pimp would GFY be if it had a built in spell checker? - GoFuckYourself.com

Rob · 08-14-2005, 05:49 PM

Imagine if GFY had its very own spell checker when you reply or post new threads. A grammar checker would be out of the question, GFY would blow up.

StickyGreen · 08-14-2005, 05:49 PM

hmm, probably not too hard to add it into vbulletin script or something...

JuiceMonkey · 08-14-2005, 05:50 PM

there is an IE plugin to check what you write..
not sure if a firefox one is there yet

candyflip · 08-14-2005, 05:51 PM

The majority of mistakes here are grammar as opposed to spelling.

google has a form spell checker in their new toolbar...pretty nice

CDSmith · 08-14-2005, 05:52 PM

Didn't one of the old scripts have spellcheck here? I'm pretty sure one did, I know there were a few other wm boards that had it.... very few used it, I doubt it would reduce the # of stupid mis-spellings and typos significantly.

StuartD · 08-14-2005, 05:54 PM

a GFY spell checker still wouldn't correct bad grammatical errors such as "your" and "you're" mix ups.

sonofsam · 08-14-2005, 05:55 PM

not pimp at all, what else are we going to point out when we have nothing to fight back with?

Bama · 08-14-2005, 05:56 PM

I'm sure your thinking a spell checker would help but their would still be these kinds of errors getting through

Hahaha... exactly. Nothing is "fool proof" when up against the right GFY'ers.

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marks four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye striks a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me a strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

BigCashCrew Dude · 08-14-2005, 06:05 PM

that would be nice, but as others said, a grammar checker would be better

EviLGuY · 08-14-2005, 06:28 PM

You can always use the spell checker in the google toolbar.

PrintAdult · 08-14-2005, 06:31 PM

That would be great.

wedouglas · 08-14-2005, 06:35 PM

It would be sweet, but it would probably slow GFY to all hell because no one on here can spell.

SmokeyTheBear · 08-14-2005, 06:35 PM

That would suck. It makes idiots look smarter..

You can always tell what someone means, so does it really matter ? Its annoying sometimes, but other times its a good starting off point to judge someone. ( and thats what makes gfy so fun

)
