Weird. Only 3 words are flagged as misspelled. There probably must be some buffer overload somewhere in the spell checker.
Anyway, if someone sees The Killer (=jack) or Reece (his friend), can you tell them that AOL is usually spelled like that, and not oal?

I only count 3 misspelled words in there. There's a few more words that are being misused, though still spelled correctly. :)
Unfortunately several of those words although spelled wrong for their meaning are actually recognised as correct spellings for other words, would be nice if CB recognised what makes sense and what doesn't.

CB has a spell checker, not a grammar checker. :)

That is too good of a choice. Nothing will ever get posted. :P

Bast is a bad choice.
If you want someone to check spelling and grammar then by default our American players are ruled out. ;)

What if those American players are avid readers of English (British) literature?

Nah... they tend to stumble over their hyperinflated egos. :P

frend = friend
becouse = because
mite = might
hace = have
no = know
(cant = can't)
dont = done
(any thing = anything)
And those are the errors that I can see. Spelling errors of course. Of course there's always CB, Jack, Hi, 'him. He', 'more. Have' , 'thing?', and 'Just asking."

The real problem is the lack of punctuation and improper use of words. Spelling isn't much of an issue, really.
