Not "spelling reform" in its traditional sense. It's just that, on this forum, we're all meant to be teachers, former teachers, or wannabe teachers of the English language. To many of us, English is L2 or more. And there is no spell check feature on this site.
What I've been using lately is my google toolbar. It includes a spell check for everything on your current page that you have the option to change! It's flippin' awesome. Here's where you can get it:
http://toolbar.google.com/
Download the toolbar, and you can spell check your posts before posting. I have developed this habit, and though it doesn't check syntax or grammar (as MS Word does), it will at least make sure you aren't making a jackass of yourself with spelling a language we are meant to be (at least in China) "experts" in. It would also invite less intentionally misleading derision. you should use this (and perhaps the mods can make this a sticky??). |

I guess I got the wrong idea. I was just going to tell you that it's R-E-F-O-R-M.  |
