Do you mean spell check?

Do you mean the spelling check when you submit a post?
You can't turn that off.

[T]Vestax August 15 2005 3:19 PM EDT

Nor would we want you to turn it off.

Jordan23 August 15 2005 3:20 PM EDT

yes the spell check

I wish there was an auto correcter. Many posts would be far less painful to read if that were the case...

< nospellcheck > your misspelled text < /nospellcheck > (REMOVE EXTRA SPACES) IN BRACKETS

make sure to switch from plain text to HTML or else it won't do a thing

If the spell checker is mistaken, don't panic -- as long as the fraction of mis-spelled words is less than 0.15, you'll be fine. Hints:

* English capitalization is important: "Monday" is correct, but "monday" is not.
* A note about names: CB users are recognized if you uniquely identify them in at least 4 letters. So, 'val' is not recognized as 'Valgasu', but 'valg' is. However, if there is also a user named 'Valgrind', you would have to type more.
* If all else fails, use <nospellcheck> tags to 'opt out' part of your post from spellcheck. (Choose HTML mode and simply write <nospellcheck>...my text...</nospellcheck>.)
* Ignoring this advice and simply padding your post with extra words to get above the 0.15 threshold without an exceptionally good reason will result in a fine.

I'm guessing 'The Dictionary' is not the answer you were looking for.

:p

if you put McM 3 time in a text of 9 words that will not work that's my problem.

[T]Vestax August 15 2005 3:56 PM EDT

blah blah MCM, blah blah blah MCM blah MCM

[T]Vestax August 15 2005 3:57 PM EDT

I didn't use any special tags either. MCM is a legal word while McM is not.
