Ooops...
I'm one of those violators. I'll find after posting that I repeated a phrase or word and it would read
so much smoother if I changed the second word to something else. Or I'll realize I made a spelling
mistake and fix that.

Occasionally if no one has posted after me I'll add a sentence.

I will refrain from doing so in the future.

My bad.

No problem we're trying to crack down on the apperance of editing to save face.  Use the preview button as I can totally understand spelling and repeating offenses as I'm I'm subject to this

just to let you all  know... I'm a HORRIBLE speller... I go back and edit my posts because of that... I'm sorry if it bothers people... I will try not to... but when I see what I have typed and know it is spelled wrong... it bothers me.... ALOT....

I use Firefox all the time, because I consider it to be a superior browser to Internet Explorer.  The built-in spell checker works fairly well, and allows you to right-click misspelled words for correct spelling suggestions.  You can also add words to the dictionary by right-clicking, to take care of all of the crazy werewolf terminology.  The Firefox spell checker is similar to the Microsoft Word spell check, in that it puts a squiggly red line under any misspelled words in any open text fields.

Follow what they say. It's super easy. I did it by myself, which is pretty impressive.
