I find it funny that sometimes the spell checker shows some words wrong that are very easy spelling and you'd think the spell checker wouldn't highlight them.  It would also be so cool to have like a grammar checker.  I'd love that.

Is that part of the forums?

I always thought it was to do with firefox.

Interesting.

Because they aren't valid English words.

Which spellchecker are we talking about? The automatic Firefox field checker or the Spell Check button right next to Post?

Okay, if it's FF (which it also is as it underlines internet acronyms and the like phrases in red) we can't do anything about it.

As for SMF's "Spell Check" button, that uses this program that's installed on the server and is not a part of SMF.

So if we're to add words to the SMF's Spell Check feature, that involves adding words to Aspell's dictionary. I'll look into that at some point.
