Oh cruelty, cruelty, how you taunt me, spellchecker! Increase Your PM Length

The spellchecker has abondoned us to our mis-literative fate more than a month ago, serving us nothing but this message:
quote:
Due to the current advertising climate, SpellChecker.net no longer offers a banner supported service. Webmasters: click here to sign up for the paid version of the SpellChecker.net system.
,
yet the spell check button remain below the new post field to taunt us and remind or of less erroneus days. Like the memory of beautiful maidens of my youth, it tantilizes me and then dashes my hopes and turn my fond memories to bitter dust. Cruelty, thy name is spellchecker.net!! Please remove this mean tease from our sight, that we may give up our past, and properly mourn the passing of corrected spelling.

Tired of ads?

You're complaining, but you are in a native english spoken country.

Try to figure out how the rest of us feel...

The lack of spellchecker will bring finbar to the forums more often. He specialises in correcting other peoples spelling and grammer.

Trasnposition errors are my forte Get a bigger avatar today!

The only spelling errors I make are when I type too fast, and type the letters in the wrong order, hit the wrong keys or omit letters by mistake.

Being lazy I don't bother to correct it.
