Phil Robinson 1,476 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Can we have a spellchecker in Manage Images that recognises British English spellings as well as American? (there is now a squiggly red line under 'recognises'). 1 Link to post Share on other sites
NYCat 3,036 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Great idea. Maybe something to also help us recognize when we have missed the British spelling. I wouldn't have thought of recognise. Really? Philippe is probably better at this than I am. Paulette Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Robinson 1,476 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 In fact, I like it the ways it is. When I see "harbour" or "mollusc" underlined in red, then it should ring a bell that there's also another spelling "(harbor" "mollusk"). When it would recognise both British English and American English spellings, I would miss a lot. Cheers, Philippe Good point, so can I request that it is changed from American to British ONLY, so we can pick up the US spellings! Link to post Share on other sites

I got confused. Best left as it is..... Link to post Share on other sites
wiskerke 3,743 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Use the old Manage Images 1.0 Choose any spell checker you like in your browser options. wim 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Robinson 1,476 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Use the old Manage Images 1.0 Choose any spell checker you like in your browser options. wim Thanks Wim - I didn't know about that. Then you can check using both and add both sets of missing variants. Brilliant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wiskerke 3,743 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Now everybody go mail member services to demand ask for access to 1.0. ;-) wim Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Robinson 1,476 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 I still like to use the old version - much better for comparing and copying/pasting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
losdemas 3,027 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Can't get access to the old version (never having used it). Anyhow, we're all going to be treated to a new version soon, right?! Link to post Share on other sites

Allan Bell 3,099 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 This British company pays you in $$$$s so why not use an American spellchecker? As mentioned above it does give a heads up that there are possible alternative spellings. Allan Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Robinson 1,476 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Just found 'Betjeman' underlined. Suggested replacement - 'Beatlemania'. Perhaps it's Liverpudlian, not American after all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
