Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

OI isn't recognized in the spell checker, while RC is. :)

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

done.

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Heh, and while we're requesting, why not CMU and BACKBOT (first two I could think of).

...for that matter, why isn't "heh" in the dictionary? :rolleyes:

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Amanda,
think that IFI could also be added to the spell check list?
I would owe you an extra hug at the web hug if you could put it in :D *would use any excuse to get to meet Amanda Morrison* :D

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

CMU
CMUcam
backbot
IFI
OI

.. added.

heh

.. not added.

(oh, Amanda, adding words to the spell checker dictionary has been broke since the server move, as not-broke as it has seemed..)

:)

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Ok, I realize this thread is a few months old, but there isn't really a better place for this:

Could someone add "Firefox" to the dictionary? Thanks!

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

No problem.

Firefox is now added.

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Speaking of spell check.. is there any way to make it skip url's? When I post a url, it goes and tries to fix a bunch of "words" it thinks are wrong in it.

Any way to skip everything beginnning with http:// ?

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Not sure .. it's not something I wrote, just a 3rd-party add-on for vBulletin. I'll have to look at it and see what I can do.

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

How about adding FIRSTcast and fixing the "Matt Krass" check, it doesn't properly resolve to "God of All".

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Any chance of getting KOP added?

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Does it at least default to "inflated ego"?

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

KOP and FIRSTcast are added.

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

DEKA

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

DEKA added

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

How about Krispy Kreme? Hard to discuss FIRST or Epsilon Delta without it.

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

How about adding Mecanum and AndyMark as well?

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

I just noticed PID isn't there either, that be a good addition too.

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Adding Krispy Kreme PID Mecanum and AndyMark

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

How about JVN?

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

online? It seems to try and go with "on line" or on-line.

No one I know uses a dash in that word.

Thoughts?

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

online is in my dictionary widget .. good enough for me. ;)

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

Here are a few others I remember noticing in passing:

videographer
advisor (alternate spelling of adviser)
okay
Hauppauge (jk)

Re: Add 'OI' to the spell checker?
 

OK, I've added:

videographer
videography
advisor
okay

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Oh! I have one.
- definitely -

everyone on CD loves to use definitely and it is usually spelled
definately, definatly, or defiantly -

thank you,
Jane

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

definitely is in there already ..

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

oh sorry -
definitely -
it must be broken.... :)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

EasyC and WPILib

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

And FLL too

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

And FVC, too. :)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Added:

FVC FLL EasyC WPILib CNC Delrin Lexan machanum omniwheel

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Dang .. I knew I should've verified when it didn't look right ;)

mecanum is in there, already, it looks like.

Thanks Richard.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

I thought maybe machanum was an alternate spelling for Mecanum, but when I Google it all that comes up is some people's names. Seems Mecanum is the name of the company where the inventor of this type of wheel was working when he came up with the idea. So I guess that's the only acceptable spelling.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

HDPE?

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

HDPE added

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

PWM

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

PWM added

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Can you add KenWittlief? Although the spellchecker resolves most names to wierd things, Kens goes to particularly wierd ones, genitalia and nightlife.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

I've added Wittlief

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

how bout photoshop.


on a related note is it possible to put more than one link in a private message because i was unable to recently...maybe this is a personal issue.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

photoshop added

yes, you shouldn't have any limit on the # of links .. just images.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Not really adding something to the spell checker, just adding the spell checker somewhere else. Will it ever be possible to have the spell checker on reputation?

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

WildStang, Beatty, and DSKB are not listed. I don't think anyone has trouble spelling these but they should be there.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

can you add "FEA" it stands for finite element analysis

also needel would be nice ;)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Sure

FEA and Needel added.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Some other words:

Brandon
Martus
Mentors Unite!
MC

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

They're already in there.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

How about FIRSTers and Battlecry?

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

FIRSTers is a bit iffy. BattleCry, though I'll add.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

I'd think FIRSTers has entered common usage--it maxed out a search of the forums for it. (The oldest thread the forums will return for a search of it are right at the end fo the 2004 season...about 250 threads per year which use the word.)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Eh, ok. :)

FIRSTers it is.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

WPI

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

WPI added.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

On the subject, what about the singular form of FIRSTer as well?

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

CIM

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

mabuchi

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

With a capital M...or is it case-insensitive? (Maybe "mabuchi" means something in Japanese, but since we're dealing with an English-language forum, it's a proper noun.)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

OCCRA?
I don't think it's in there... (I just typed it tonight but of couse I can't remember :rolleyes: )

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

You can always spell check what you just typed ;)

CIM, Mabuchi and OCCRA .. now added.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

About the actual words that come up for smileys?

I just tested them all and :rolleyes: :ahh: don't pass it =P

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

gmail ?!

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Gmail added

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

I think it may be about time that the word Mentos is added to the spell checker. ;)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

ok, added Mentos

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

how about AMD and emo?

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

levelled

It doesn't seem to understand the double-l forms of those words, which are more popular in Britain. But the "Lookup" function is obviously looking at a bigger dictionary....

Also, what about a feature to directly recommend words for addition? Maybe something that generates a list, then runs them through (for example) Google's "define:" function to check for hits, and generates a list with citations for Brandon to deal with at his leisure.

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Yeah, the 'Lookup' function and the actual spell check don't use the same dictionary of words. I may end up changing the spell check over to a Google -based one, and alleviate all of this. The problem with that is that we can't add custom, FIRST-specific words.

Until I get some free time, this thread will have to do for adding words to our dictionary.

ROV

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?

How about DDR?

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

gauge

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

added:

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

How about a button in the spell checker that says "Suggest" and when we find a word that we think should be in the spell checker we press it instead of flooding this thread with suggestions :)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

I agree. It seems that would be much less cumbersome than this thread. (Although it is nice when Brandon replies in the thread that a word has been added.)

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Now that Firefox2 has built in spell check, I doubt I will be using the one built into CD as much. I wonder what the statistics on the spell check page look like? What is the average number of spell checks/post?

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Per Karthik's request... Beatty

Re: Can you add something to the spell checker?
 

Done.
