Default scren names

why do all your screen names come up as being misspelled when I type them in a post? I keep having to double check the spelling and it is never corrected so I say the heck with it and refrain from using your screen names.

My guess is that it's because you don't give enough of a rat's ass about anyone other than yourself to spend one second checking the spelling of a name.

No, it's obviously our fault for having user names he can't spell. Jeez.

Or the names' faults. He seems to invest them with some sort of corruptive spirit that makes it impossible for him to get them right. Looks like the word "screen" has the same power over him.

There is no spellchecker that would find Dingfod not misspelt.

There's clearly a major defect in :ff:. It must be the admins' fault. It couldn't possibly be anything to do with the browser on Bob's PC that actually provides the spell checking capability and is not customised with all the posters' screen names at a forum which (it is well known) no one links to.

At least Mr. Savegan [:larrow: red squiggles] picked an easy to spell screen name.

Good point Bluebottle. (no spelling suggestions) should just have gone with spelling corrections.

As should oblivious druids, Bacchus , Founding and Anastasia Beaverton.

If those red squiggly lines are showing up on legitimate usernames, your computer has a virus that ignores the checksum. Try copying and pasting the username, so you know it's not a typo. If the red line shows up, that means that your error correction has been disabled at the BIOS.
