If it highlights a word that's spelled right on occasion, oh well. I can ignore that. I don't really care if it doesn't know my personal favorite words, or my last name. It gets the job done quick with words I don't already know how to spell, and that's all that really matters. I can post from any computer I have access to without worrying if it has the right browser or plugin. And my own computer doesn't need another bit of 3rd party code mucking up the delicate ballance of stability. I already run too much extra crap. A built-in spell checker just makes things simpler.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003020514718578503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-76290090785272397502009-10-16T02:33:44.294-07:002009-10-16T02:33:44.294-07:00i want spelsheck backi want spelsheck backinfo;https://www.blogger.com/profile/15484768846163201526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-28971374707652376112009-10-15T17:03:50.287-07:002009-10-15T17:03:50.287-07:00I use IE and Google Chrome and iespell works for b...I use IE and Google Chrome and iespell works for both. You can even add words there to the dictionary so you don't have to hit the "ignore" all the time. It checks spelling in any text box (like status updates and forms).<br /><br />It's not perfect, but it is free, and I have had every problem with the old Blogger spell-checker noted here, too. No problems with this 3rd party app.☼ Daynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712457688852258439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-36992634283460854092009-09-04T15:22:21.120-07:002009-09-04T15:22:21.120-07:00Is there a third party app that you suggest?

I see what you mean - it does automatic spellchecking in any text box that has more than two lines. Very nice. See? I found out about it on Real Blogger Status.<br />Only problem will be keeping my husband from freaking out five minutes from now when he awakes and finds out something "changed" on the computer - he hates that.

That being that "highlighting" is actually an HTML code but once you fixed the problem with your spelling due to blogger's suggestions you either had things stuck with yellow "tape" around them or you have massive errors on your post. These errors happened in compose as well as HTML... but not always both. (That sound odd?)<br /><br />Errors included.<br /><br />Words that were not actually spelled incorrectly but spell-check did not recognize still having highlights on them in main blog after post. (A common few for me are names, especially site or game names that have a URL)<br /><br />Blog post extending over other blog posts underneath it and creating something awkward and ugly. (I found the only way to "fix this" was by actually deleting the post and making a new one)<br /><br />"Floating highlights". Small bars of yellow in spaces or on hyphens if that was how the word was "suggested" be fixed. (You had to "find" the "checker" HTML and remove it by force from HTML code)<br /><br />It also <b>destroyed</b> any links, img sources and a SLEW of other things that were "dependent" on any wordings that are always spelled incorrectly. (Such as URLs, extended HTML and anything not in English. Way to fix is same as one above.)<br /><br />Spell-check = Good.<br />Blogger spell-check =/= Good.<br /><br />Hey, all the help this blog has given me I was very glad I could actually contribute something.Dudelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143482316501988330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-39781954290468087162009-09-03T19:15:07.510-07:002009-09-03T19:15:07.510-07:00No, Susan, it's not a character flaw.

Your tone about that leaves something to be desired. Is it a character flaw that I like the spellchecker? Well ... Esquooose Me! <br />:-)<br /><br />Spellcheckers just offer suggestions, so I don't think unique spelling or good/bad spelling are a problem for Blogger. I'll bet they add it back. You could say the same thing about font colors - "Well, Blogger can't put everybody's favorite color in there, so we'll all just have to get a third party product to do it."Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122828543615175957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-79361521222995646752009-09-03T17:08:51.794-07:002009-09-03T17:08:51.794-07:00I didn't even know Blogger had a spell check. ...I didn't even know Blogger had a spell check.
