I'll think of a good title later

Perfect spelling from now on!

,

I have just downloaded Aspell & it is now running very nicely within 7.5p2.

It is really easy to use & gives you an enormous range of alternate spellings for unrecognised words (some may say too many). At the moment it seems seems to not recognise quite a few common words used in internet communication 'internet', 'www' & 'http' for example (ok so the last two are acronyms). Hopefully new dictionary files will improve on this. It offers a really quick & simple way to proofread anything you write on the web, in forums, comment forms, wikis & email.

Aspell is open source. Hopefully encouraging Opera users to use it within 7.5 will cause a few more eyes to look over the code of this really good product.

Yes, M2 of P2 has spell check button with it and works fine here. But several minutes ago, here on Opera Journal, when I tried to spell check my poor English, Opera itself was aborted!

It happened again, alas. I called Aspell from my mouse right button and click "spell check".

This is my second post ;-) Before its abortion, I saved my previous words at clip board.

This is my third post. Aborted for three times...

I have yet to have a single crash. I have used the right click option on my journal entry, several journal comments & dozens of other forum posts elsewhere. So far I haven't had a single problem, although I have only been using it for a day... I'll keep you posted.
