Phil Robinson 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'). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got confused. Best left as it is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdemas 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, we're all going to be treated to a new version soon, right?! If there is indeed a new system in the pipeline, then can we a have a choice of spellcheckers, as in the original?

Allan Bell 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
