•Football Schedule•Basketball Schedule•Forum•About•ContactStarting right... now... you will begin to see red squigglies under misspelled words. This works on blog posts, forum topics and comments.
When you see a misspelled word, simply right-click the word for suggestions. If you don't find one to your liking, feel free to manually correct the spelling yourself.
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.

Thank you, it is much appreciated. There have been errors that I wanted to correct, but that would have been a D-bag move considering what this site is about, so this will help!
I do it a lot. I post, find out I made a mistake in my comment & edit the post...Did you mean correcting someone else's post or your own?

More so other errors, because they bother me (being the OCD loon that I am), but I make mistakes as well, so it's good for all! 11W comes through again with their unwavering commitment to users.
Cue everyone misspelling words in this thread on purpose
OK. But what happens when I want to write "irregardless", just to poke Buck.I8?

You'll have to the red lines in addition to my contempt
I'm sure anyone that is familiar with my posting habits understands how excited this makes me hahah
When I first saw this topic, all I could think of was to imagine you doing something like this:
If this doesn't make everyone smile, I don't know what would.
@Buck-I.8 - I actually enjoy your comments, posts, and banter. I'm glad you're here. But I did manage to misspell your name in my 1st comment here - tried to fix it - too late! Sorry.
P.S. Did you ever read my reply on the Icon thread? I sent you a link to an article I was hoping you would enjoy.
"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." - Groucho Marx
I did read that yesterday, but I didn't want to bump the whole thread. Very interesting, and I'd have to agree with M-W's stance on the word in practice haha
As one who once worked as an editor very close to campus, I appreciate the addition. Like Buck-I.8 (you could have picked a simpler moniker), grammar and spelling errors bug me as well. Although I do like to write chopped sentences sometimes, and a guilty pleasure is sometimes sarcasm or a double entendre.
Sweeeeet! So the next time I spell rediculous, I wont feel ridiculous. Now if it could just correct my grammatical and composition errors...
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
Great. I am a terrible speller. Unfortunately, the site would sometimes freeze when I attempted to spell check.
Fantastic

There's some odd down-voting going on around here

The Debbie and Danny Downers of the world are everywhere in society.
Even on 11W. They have no sense of humor because they are so unhappy and want nothing more than to make everyone around them miserable like they are.
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
ABoyNamedTracy abusing the voting system
I think I have been able to cancel out the down votes with my proliferate use of offsetting up votes. :)

Automatic for the people...
I wink at you with my Peter Buck eye.
Great, nothing makes me feel more dumb than when I misspell so badly that even spell check doesn't have a clue wth I am trying to spell.
+1 ^^^ LOL.
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
Test. It takes a minute, but sweet. Sarah, head 11W editor, I'm sure is happy. (Side note, it appears 11W needs to be added to the dictionary)
So then do we need the spell check button on the comment box toolbar anymore?

Now, if only something could be done about "your" and "you're." :)

Delany/Delaney (you want the former)
If only it could fix grammar too...

Now people will almost realize that yes, they DO need a refresher in spelling, as confirmed by tiny red squiggles. Thanks Jason! In 11W We Trust.
