spell check

[aussie dollar]

looking for a spell check which you enter word yourself,not one that checks your docos.
like a dictornary cant find one any ideas ?

[Nicke]

I am using Concise Oxford Dictionary, not for spelling but to check out words I am not sure about. But may also be good for spelling.

Something like this??

burg /tmp:> $ echo unfortunatelly | ispell
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 08/01/01
word: how about: unfortunately

burg /tmp:> $ dict unfortunatelly
No definitions found for "unfortunatelly", perhaps you mean:
gcide: Unfortunately
wn: unfortunately
moby-thes: unfortunately
burg /tmp:> $ machine
SuSE Linux 9.1

Burg thats what i mean
where can i find it ?

oopss... you do have a wonderful machine in front of you (xp probably) but the engine is a little bit bad nah? Make the switch to Linux now. The bargirls will also admire you when you say: "I use Linux". Wintendo is dead, long time already, Linux will be the OS of the future (for the next 10-15 years for sure) and it deserves it. Difficult? Even my grandma (she is 75) can install it.

Oh,did I mention already that it's free, security patches will normally take 12-48 hours, no viruses, malware, spyware and that we have a lot of excellent software available?

One day, sooner or later, you will move to Linux, and you will love it. So try it now... it won't cost you a cent, only time.

But if you want to drive a Mercedes with a Skoda motor and you are perfectly happy, stay with Wintendo.

Those three are quite good for a number of reasons. Worth a look.

Try a Google-search on "dictionary" and you'll find heaps.
...or... just do a Google-search on whatever word you are unsure about. Try it.

I have Concise Oxford Dictionary version 9 from a magazine cover CD that I can make available for you you download (25MB) if you have broadband. dates from Win 95 era but works with XP if you install from safe made. It no-longer integrates with new Word versions.

If you are working from your own computer, and don't mind American spelling -- at m-w.com they have a toolbar addition that is handy for checking words, thesauras, etc.. but of course it doesn't spell check a post.

Cheers, Ro-baht

sorry to say that, but i think that linux is just an OS for computer freaks (like me, but i'm not using it ) and for server...
not really "friendly" enough for those windows xp noobies

That's ridiculously funny, I'm going to try that one.

So you are saying it will protect me from viruses?
