No More Spellcheck
Jul 21
Posted: under Software.
My previous spell checking plugin relied on aspell to work. My host disabled aspell a week or two ago citing stability issues. Ok, whatever. I went looking for another plugin and found an AJAX spell checker that was pretty cool. (I’d link, but I don’t even have time to look it up just now). It will actually underline works that it doesn’t recognize and when you click on it, it gives you word suggestions and all.
The problem came two minutes ago when I finished a medium length post about how my laptop crashed and my troubles getting it going again. I even have a list of other things I’d love to post but haven’t had a chance because I’ve been working on this dumb thing (and because my time management sucks). I just finished the post as I’m mostly done with the laptop and was happy that I had a little time to write something.
I finished writing, hit my spell check, and a minute later, it reported finding no errors and the post was gone. I have no way of getting back, besides re-writing it either. But then I have to leave for work just now, so I don’t have time for that.
So instead, I’ve settled on a post about how I’ve deleted my spellchecker and am going back to my old mehtod of copying and pasting from word.
