May I ask why you are asking for correct english on a global website?
Is it your goal to drive Coco off the forums because of his grammer?

No, just kidding, I have had several private messages with him. He's alright, just has a lot of youthful enthusiasm. Actually, I feel that he has a lot of potential, and have told him so. We are not the only two that has suggested using a spelling checker. And if I felt that way towards anyone, I'd get with you or one of the other moderators first.

I agree with the spell checker. It was probably five months after I found this forum that I started using it myself. I didn't know about the spell checker for one. Now I realize I can use it anywhere inside the browser to check my spelling. The spell checker really does come in handy.

It's the sentence structure and poor use of words that I find I should over look on the forum. For one English may not be their primary language. Even if English is their primary language, how many different accent's are there?

Well, since he lives in Australia and claims to be 16 years old, he should have a fairly good grasp of spelling, etc.

I'm outta here!

In support, I was one who suggested the use of a spell checker to coco.
I am incredibly low on typing skills, so I would probably benefit from one myself!
Quote from an earlier post of mine:
"Accepting the internation environment of forums, I have never taken a great deal of notice of bad spelling or grammar. Really par for the course"

You guys if you keep complaining about my spelling I will leave the forum because I try and no one is perfect. A lot of the time I Spell well but on a keyboard you hit other keys by accident or hit the ones next to one at the same time. I'am sure you have done the same and if I look harder I will find posts with spelling mistakes in them by others as well.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I thought that this topic was about possible trouble with Windows 7. NOT about spill chuckers.

I Think andsome needs a Spell Checker because It's "Spell Checker" not "Spill Chucker".

I'am trying to turn the thread because some members are getting annoyed with this thread.

Now it has led into (The first I think, on this site?) a flaming war.
As I said in a post at the start, anyone addressing this thread, with an explanatory post, would be better served posting the particular problem in the help portions of the site. The Poll has little purpose. I see it is to go on for quite a while yet?
