":Edit:: extra words for spellchecker to let this post through. word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word"

this isn't what you should do with your post, instead use HTML mode and use the <nospellcheck> command.


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:

* 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.

Yeah, I've never read the whole spellchecker page.

hope you will now :)

Does not knowing classify as an "exceptionally good reason"? =)

AdminShade June 13 2006 4:07 PM EDT

no, it is displayed, failing to read isn't an excuse.

Only $250 per word, You let him off too easy. =)

or he was just fined for ignorance. :)

Well, unless I count incorrectly, there are 49 words, so $10,000 / 49 =$204.08 per post.

Definitely not enough =)

10k per unnecessary "word" sounds fair ;)
