catgate Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I would be interested to know just which spell checker the English users of Firefox are using. I am currently using the Mozilla add on British English Dictionary 1.19 and it gives me some very oddresults. It underlines all manner of words that are perfectly correct. This is an example of what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I don't quite understand how you mean "this is an example of what it does" but do you think it could be related to the American English?They're always awkward spell checkers! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have the same as you, and if you mean that it doesn't like the words you underlined then the only one it underlines for me is oddresults, if I put the space in it's ok. You will have to take andsomes advice and change to the slow IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to take andsomes advice and change to the slow IE In my example above I underlined in black the words it had underlined in red. The missing space in "oddresults" is due to the fact that I erased a square bracketed "u" which was between the two words and posted without noticing there was a space missing.I will underline in black what it has underlined in red in this post.

rong Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 It's your set up then as it only underlines the "oddresults" and "u" when I copy and paste it. I would uninstall it and download it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I shall try that and see what happens, rong, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have just done that, rong, and it made not one jot of difference. Just to show how silly it is I copied and lasted the allowing and it copied without the black under lining, but when I did a spell check back they came. So I put a "Correct" spelling and under lined that in black.In my example above I under lined in black the word's it had under lined in red. The hissing space in "oddresults" is due to the fact that I erase d a square bracketing "u" which was between the two word's and posted without not icing there was a space hissing.I will underline in black what it has under lined in red in this post.What will happen if I shake a six?

rong Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The only settings I can see that might affect it is this oneThis is what I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The only settings I can see that might affect it is this oneThis is what I haveThat looks very M$ to me.It looks as though perhaps it may be something to do with the Ubuntu/Firefox mixture then? I have no screen like your illustration.But there must be others using the same combination, you would think.I need to do some more trawling.

catgate Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Whilst I was doing some more writing I clicked the spellchuckler and up came the panel but now with a with "Languages" beneath "Check spelling" . When I clicked this I found I was using en_ZA. How South Africa comes into play is quite beyond my comprewhatsit.I have now clicked it to English/United Kingdom and it seem quit at ease, as do I.Yipee!!
