Next you'll want to auto-correct all wording! Really-the idea of a forum auto-correcting all spelling? Can anyone show one that does? (or am i jumping the gun?its going to ask "fix" or "ignore," right?)

The most annoying thing about it is that at present it requires comments to keep it at the top... There were several other polls I thought of, but rejected. I nearly did one about whether Paul (Webmaster) should be paid according to the number of features he introduces, but that seemed to beg rather a lot of questions (or features?), so I went for the frationally less controversial spelling one instead. Whatever the voting outcome, it's bound to be ignored! _________________

SteveG Location: United Kingdom Posts: 6695	Posted - Wed Nov 06, 2002 7:29 pm  Anyway, have you been resetting your poll, Paul? Mine seems to have got more votes than yours, which is perhaps slightly surprising... _________________

There were some people here who were against the Polls being open to you guys, but I said, "Hey, they'll love it!". For what it's worth

clintfan Location: USA Posts: 455	Posted - Thu Nov 07, 2002 12:03 am  Almost seems like these polls should have their own forum, like the Tips & Tricks has. A "polls" forum, or polling-place if you will. Oh, and noooooooooooooooooooooooooo spelling correction please. -clintfan

SteveG Location: United Kingdom Posts: 6695	Posted - Fri Nov 08, 2002 2:35 pm  Well, this is interesting. So far, there are 11 votes for leaving the spell checker alone, but 17 votes for changing it somehow! Doesn't look too good for the spell checker! _________________
