Why does Mumsnet not have

[LynetteScavo]

spell check built in?

Is it so we can judge who is thick see peoples true persnalities shine though?

Nooooooooo to spell check

That would automatically lead to tickers.............

Anyway I like my judgey knickers

You can get a spell checker on firefox or Chrome - you are obviously using the wrong browser

Firefox is the best because you can refresh the page when halfway through typing a message and it doesn't delete it all.

ROFL best not to make a typo in your OP teehee!

OK...I'm going over to firefox...where exactly is the spell check?

Nooooooo.... not unless it was a special MN spellchecker that recognised words like fanjo and norks

My google bar has a spell checker.

I would like to be able to set up a poll on baby-names and maybe AIBU.

Ha! I've just installed it! How exciting!

You learn something new every day!

Emoticon isn't in the dictionary, BTW!

I used Firefox and have just checked and the "check spelling as I type" is ticked - yet it never picks up typos/spelling mistakes

You can add words to your own dictionary though - unlike when you have a website with a spell checker of its own.

I use Firefox

How strange prettybird. Right-click in the typing box and check that "Check Spelling in this area" is ticked.

Sorry that was an X-post, I was replying to Lynette.

Pretty bird...I went to tools, add-ons, extensions, then added the British dictionary.

It was very easy, and now all my mistakes are underlined in red dots.

Haha!
