    No I'm not going to "add to dictionary".....why bother-!!

    I've already spent time "editing" the picture size....LMAO
    I know you hate the spellchecker but you can't lay this one on us. The red squiggles are from your browser, not SureTrack. The SureTrack spellcheck doesn't flag those as misspelled.

      This one really doesn't work to be blunt.

        Here's another PITA that pops up EVERY time I post from my cell phone....

        Sure looks like flash player IS ALREADY on this device.

        It's just one thing after another, and it's constant.

        How do you like the picture size, unedited....

        Do I hate the spell check -??

        ABSOLUTELY.

        Every one of the peeves are correctable if anyone gave a rats pitoot

            Yes, the spellchecker has problems and I'm trying to get them fixed. I was just saying that the problem you pointed out is not caused by our spellchecker.

            As for the Flash problem. It may be installed on your phone but that doesn't mean that your browser works with it. Which browser are you using? If it's Chrome it definitely won't work as Google doesn't support Flash.

            I use the Dolphin browser on my phone with Flash sideloaded and it doesn't give the message about Flash. On my tablet I can use Firefox with SureTrack and don't get the message. And there I don't even have flash installed.

            Believe me, I'm not trying to fight you on your feedback. I really do appreciate it. That's why I started this usergroup in the first place.

              You would think after what, FIVE YEARS-??, that the spell check would recognize a word such as "kilometres".....and NO, there aren't any squiggly lines under that word either.
              And no it isn't on my android either, just a basic PC.

              Please, either FIX the spell check or trash it.

              For crying out loud, it's been long enough.

                  The spell check does recognize kilometers but not kilometres. Sorry.

                    Well....I took a peek at one post regarding a spongy brake pedal.
                    i guess we're driving cars all wrong up here...LMAO
                    Apparently when stomping on the brake pedal the "FIST HIT" had a soft and low pedal but on the second one the pedal came up...LMAO
                    I guess we shouldn't be using our feet on the brake pedal.

                    The words center and centre are both proper words.

                    Kilometres is a proper word as well.

                    The point is, the spell check is not achieving the desired result and has been left to languish for far too long.

                    Constant reminders to install flash player.....
                    Font sizes being different in different text boxes on the SAME page
                    Constant messages saying " ya'll dun't spellerin that thur word raght" gets tiring.

                    Hell, even DR-JAKE makes more sense-!!!
                    I don't necessarily agree with him but his use of the ENGLISH language is better than the spell check sometimes-!!

                      BTW, it didn't even have any suggested correction either....
                      I might forgive the kilometers vs the kilometres thing but it didn't like the word yet had no correction for it...

                        My suggestion would be to add kilometres to the Ebonics dictionary as just a shorter way of saying Three Kilometers. When it comes to expressing torqueing Euroturd fasteners in Newton Meters, just remember , The wheels never fall off close to the Apple tree, so tighten Funky Fasteners in Fist Pounds or Foot Kicks

                          I will add kilometres and metres to the spell check just as Crusty could add them.

                          Not much other than that I can do about it at this time.

                            I DID TRY to add a few words before......
                            NOPE...
                            That function didn't work so I don't bother anymore....
                            And YES I tried several times and gave up.....

                            What was that thing Einstein said about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result-?? LMAO

                              That is the definition for insanity.
