Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I don't think that is really necessary. This isn't a formal setting where you will be marked down for a typo or something. If a person can't spell in the first place then a spell checker won't help much. Hell I saw someone today spell subtle as suddle. How many spellcheckers would pick up on that? Took me forever to figure out what the hell he was trying to say.
I checked dictionary.com, and the top 30 suggestions were a complete miss on that.jpmkm said:
Additionally, spell check won't do squat for lousy grammar. I saw someone talking about Lance Armstrong "buying his time" until later stages. Perfect spelling, utter nonsense.
General intelligence is a far better solution than a crutch that does little more than provide a false sense of security. "Marry hat hey lid tell lam, ids fleas woes wide has know."

It's "biding his time," right? I used to think "all intents and purposes" was "all intensive purposes."
We don't need a spell checker. Hell, a lot of the internet is spelled wrong anyway.
If you are worried about your spelling, cut and paste it into Word or something. I'm never going to criticize someone on their spelling, unless it is horrendously bad (or you suck at grammar, in which case you're screwed

Well, a lot of misspellings are becoming internet lingo. Plus, malapropisms are just plain fun!
I am not saying that is would make people who are stupid be able to spell like that kid that fainted on tv. I am just saying that if you see how many posts have a title on the bottom that says edited and "reason: stupid spelling mistake" it would appear people do care more about their spelling.
We have this course mangament software that ruuns off a server in my school it has e-mail built in which is unrestricted but the only thing is in theory any of the admins can read it. Also it has a chat feature built in but it is currently disabled.apHytHiaTe said:
