Approved for Voting Spellcheck

I think that it would be an awesome idea to include a spellcheck in the game.

Thanks!

I like to know who the illiterates are. Nay.

If it's that bad, then type in an external text editor. Do you realize how much work it is to add a (decent) spell check?

Most players would just ignore it anyway. So no. It would be an awesome idea to count off for spelling in US public schools in all subjects, which would help with the problem of most Americans seeming to be unable to spell even the simplest words correctly. I mean, if the people paid to educate people don't do that most basic of jobs, what good will a spell checker do? (I know plenty of teachers, and even they can't spell correctly on a consistent basis.)

There already is a spellcheck (at least on the Forums). If you are seeing misspelled words in posts it confirms what @Johnny B. Goode said above. Players ignore it. I pretty much learned to read phonetically a long time ago.

There are so many things that can be added or adjusted in this game. Spellcheck isn’t one of them lol! It would try to correct all the abbreviations and slang that is used in FoE! A better idea would be to add additional people to a thread that was just started with 2 people in it. If the thread has 3 people on it, you can add additional people, why not have that ability if there are only 2 people to start?

The method is to open the conversation with the new conversation dialog box and find their name in your guild , hood or friend list. This you can add to but with the "send message" method of starting a new conversation you cannot. This is actually a major programming request you are asking for and will affect every aspect of messaging in the game. All the routines will have to be redone to include the more robust message box class(es) in all calls to the methods used to create a new box.
