"New", I suppose, being a relative term since it's been out for several months.

Anyone using 1.5.x should upgrade immediately because of recent security flaws discovered in those versions.

All we need to do now, is to get Cameron, (ctjoyce), to install the latest version with it's Spell Checker, and most of the Forums spelling problems will be solved.....as though by magic!... Wink...!

LOL...!

Paul... Grin...!

(I downloaded my "ABC Spell Checker" add-on, to my original Firefox browser years ago...very handy!)... Smiley...!

We've still got to encourage Cameron (ctjoyce) to up grade to Firefox with the new spell checker...>>>

Quote from Cameron:
     
FSX dose NOT correctly use Dual cores.

He's got Dual/Duel sorted out now...Wink
but "dose" is still causing problems:

Does = "Does exactly what it says on the tin".
Dose =  Sexually transmitted disease!

Paul... Grin...!

...not to mention, "Shure" should be "Sure".... Shocked...!

I'm afraid that wouldn't help. This is a classic case of similar-sounding words being used in the wrong context but there's nothing wrong with the spelling. I've pointed out many times that no spell checker can detect grammatical errors.

Tee-Hee... Grin...!

One other thing I like about my trusty Spell-Checker, is the fact that I can add strange words (like Fozzer) to my Dictionary so that I no longer have to keep "Fizzing" in every Post... Roll Eyes...!

LOL... Grin...!

Paul...Fizzy Lemonade... Cool...!

BAW...I like your idea of the "Magic Pen"... Smiley...Woo-Hoo...!
