Spelling checker dude

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

Hi all.

The spelling checker (Enabled in my case to help me a good message redaction as non-native-English speaker) rejects normal usage words used here like "triode" and "pentode".

Is any way to upgrade or overcome this small issue?

Many thanks in advance.

Osvaldo.

Right click on work, select 'add to dictionary'.

As Bill says. Add it to your dictionary. That spell checker is on your computer, not here on the forum, as far as I know.

 

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

OK, recently done and works perfect.

Solved‼

What they said.

TMI Alert!

The spill-checker you show is in your browser.

(If it was in the forum software, someone would have added 'triode' years ago.)

The starter word-list probably covers 99% of the words normal people use. Some of us are not normal. We use funny words. There is a Personal Dictionary file for us. For Firefox/Win it is something like: C:\Users\Owner\AppData\ Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5wvn5k64.default\ persdict.dat

It may start blank (missing). Do what Bill and Pano say, fill it with words you know and it does not. It is in fact a plain-text file and you can edit it; but you probably should not tamper recklessly. ADD New Word is in the browser interface, (right-click on the word).

I have 38 entries and here are the first few:
triodes
incandescents
hydrostatic
windings
potentiometer
MOSFET
venturi
transconductance
MOSFETs

OK, right.

But who of us is "normal"? I clearly not.

Determining the 0 dB reference point of humanity - now there's a challenge.

 

[Osvaldo de Banfield]

This may be a severe problem. Let us suppose that now we are below the 0dB point. This clearly is an involution. Oh, my god....

Just installed Grammarly for Chrome. It does a lot more than the standard Spelling checker. Even includes "triode" and "pentode".

Lets try MS Edge

Pentode, triode, heptode, beam tetrode, Nixie (LOL, it wants to use Pixie and Dixie )

Neutrodyne, Kink-less Tetrode, thermionic, Klystron.


Not bad at all

The page offers me Grammarly for FireFox. It will go out with anybody.

Adding "triode" is so easy in FireFox, that alone is uncompelling.

I'm not keen on grammar checkers, since most have been very stupid. However I do get tired of misuse of it's, your, affect, etc online.

Oh, WTH..... hmmmm. It says it can't connect. This was not disclosed. It is aggressive, accusing me of a complex sentence, picking out "your" outside a clause like "your brilliant", but then accepting "your brilliant" without comment. Your a jerk? This is also accepted.... no, it popped-up as I hit Save.

Grammarly for Chrome comes with its own text editor. Click on the logo to open it.

Word 2003 has the same issue. It underlines long or complex sentences.
