Spell Check
Administrator/Moderators,

I would like to put forth a request rather a suggestion in other words.

How about the inclusion of 'SPELL CHECK' tool along with existing submit reply and preview post tools?

I believe that would be very much helpful in understanding questions clearly deprived of improper spellings and usage.

I very well know that request processing and approval is under the discretionary control of Admin and Moderators but still as a member I would like to put forth my humble request to you all.

Thanks.

If everyone followed the rules as-is, then there would be no problem.

(9) Edit your posts if you see spelling or grammar errors (don't write in cyberchat or cyberpunk style). English only.

But we dont live in a perfect world. Do we ?

Alternate suggestion. We could (probably) teach Gollum to do the spell check.

To say the truth I dont agree with the spell check offered as such you have mentioned,
where there are words, symbols and above all the combinations that you arrive with them could never be totally circumscribed by a spell check.

That is the reason, I requested for a spell check with the option of the member taking priority always.
