  • Is Apolyton going to lose SpellChecker?

    I was checking my spell before posting what I wrote, and noticed a banner saying that the free service is going to end on the 15th December.
    I really like Spellchecker, and use it a LOT! Can we keep it Markos & Dan? Please?

    Huh, I never noticed that spell check button until you mentioned it. While I never use it, I'm sure its useful for non-english speakers.

      Spell checkers are for ilitterates.

          I don't care. I never use it anyway.

            It's because of opinions like those that we see so many spelling mistakes, even from members that say they are in an English-spoken country.

            Haha! The spell checker says that you misspelled illitterates! It's correctly spelled illiterates, you illiterate!

                I think that was the point.

                  I really didn't think it would need a "I am being sarcastic " footnote.

                  Text really loses all intonations.

                      Well... if you really meant that you could have used the sarcastic smiley!

                        I am English, and we don't highlight our sarcastic statements like US sitcoms do.
