I think that there should also be a "Check Grammar" option on LiveWire as well. That way, we can ALL understand people when they talk.  I mean, we won't have to try and figure out when people say: "uhmm okaii liek durs dis gui n he liek wuntz 2 b mii bf buh liek i gotz a bf n den i tuld him bout diz oda guy n he gotz rellii mad case im onlii hizz baybee n he wuzz gona beet da shitt outa da othurr guii buhh it wuzz 2 l8..." So..together with the spell checker AND the grammar checker.. I think LiveWire would be a better place. Thank you.

Replies Macropiper Posted at 3:40 am on July 6, 2008 Ever seen the MS Office grammar check? Describing it as useless would be rather generous. We can't implement anything more sophisticated on LiveWire without possibly overloading the server. Seanee Posted at 7:24 am on July 5, 2008 Download firefox. Arguia Posted at 9:31 am on July 3, 2008 I don't see how that would be possible... And people won't use it... not the people you want to use it anyway. nikki Posted at 7:20 am on July 3, 2008 I don't see the point. People won't use it, just like they don't use the spell checker. bighead1991 Posted at 12:54 pm on July 2, 2008 This would be too hard/impossible to impliment. If Microsoft haven't been able to do it over many many years and lots of money, we won't be able to. marshmellowman Posted at 11:06 am on July 2, 2008 Quote: from Define Your Line at 7:01 pm on July 2, 2008 Quote: from piertangent at 1:58 pm on July 2, 2008 Grammar checker, using Word GCheck as an example, isn't usually all that accurate. Really. I know it isn't 100% accurate but it's better than how many people on here type by themselves! At least we'll be able to semi-understand it. Yeah, but it's still a voluntary action, and seeing as how very few people actually care to use the spellcheck function, I doubt it'd be that helpful. Most people that can type coherently can do it without the spellcheck, or can already type grammatically correct sentences, so it wouldn't be of much use.

Haha.  Well said.
