While making a post, I encountered the following error when I tried to run a spell check:
============================================
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
'C:\INETPUB\skepticfriends\db\dictionary2000.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
/forum/pop_spellcheck.asp, line 94
============================================
Being a rather atrocious speler, I realy rilly reeli need a spell checker.
P.S. The preview button gave me a message for this post saying that there is not text to preview.

Whoops! I forgot to upload the dictionary database! I will get to that as soon as possible. Thanks for pointing it out.

If all else fails, buy a dictionary.

The dictionary link also operates as a thesaurus. That's why I like it. Additionally, it gives several different usages throughout history and the actual etymology of the word, not just common usage like many dictionaries.

Seriously, I have a problem with hard copy dictionaries. I'll look up one word, and spend the next half hour browsing. Especially with those old, thick, two-person lift dictionaries.
Weird or what?

If it's weird - then I'm weird too.

OK, the spell checker should be functional again.
