Thundergod Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I think it's lame. Some guys really need it (you don't mark, I can always understand what you write). Some guys should feel ashamed that people from other countries with other laguajes as first languaje write better than they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've been having arguments over grammar for years. In one college class the PhD. with an English Grammar specialty, however much he required of me in class, would occasionally defer to me with the question, "What is the current practice in journalism." Spelling, yeah, Firefox helps. But it's like WordStar 30 years ago in that it tells you what ain't necessarily correct, but it doesn't offer suggestions. As for grammar, frankly I think it's horribly ignored in today's society. Oddly enough it's a subject I covered extensively when teaching new martial arts instructors - both grammar and diction. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 So does my PC with Firefox. Which I asked about once - in another thread. For some reason Windows doesn't do this for every user. Wahtupwiddat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I do a lot of programming with my laptop and for some reason Firefox just won't run. I think its time for a new laptop, and some English classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Windows doesn't as a whole and I can think of several reasons why... None have anything to do so much with Windows as an OS, but more with the degree to which you want your entire interface to diddle with spelling and grammar. I'd not go for it at all were I a Microsoft wheel since it potentially could screw up far more than it would help. Spell and/or grammar checking is for an application program, not the OS, although I think a common spelling engine could be used if the OS maker weren't concerned about an anti-competition lawsuit such as MS has been hit with. For some applications, especially older ones, I've a little program called "Tiny Spell" that works with anything, sits in your computer quietly unless you ask it to work. Back at least when Mac OS really was a Mac OS instead of a questionably cute GUI above a Unix platform, there were similar freebies available. There used to be many grammar-spelling checkers on the market too, until word processors, the major need for them, got the bloat and grammar-spell checkers came built in. Hell, newer versions of graphics programs have had spell checkers for years. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
