I added a new autocorrection feature to the journal. I fixes certain common spelling errors as you type. I will add customization features in the near future. If you notice that the journl is correcting your simple spelling errors as you type don't be frightend.

I didn't even realize it but we crossed the 1 million word mark today.

We are getting so close to having a million words.

Currently Total Words: 996833

I can't even believe it. I remember when it crossed a million characters [inlink]news,132[/inlink] back in February of 2004. There is a big difference between a milion letters and a million words. As (e:ajay) pointed out earlier, that doesn't even inlcude the chat!

In celebration of our move to the oh so awesome server we are currently on, I have updated the spell check to be the most kick-ass spell check that javascript and php could bring you. To use it simply click on the red and green "spell check" button at the bottom of your journal publish box.

The spell check is much more robust now and and is much more accurate in its suggestions. It highlight words it thinks are wrong in red and right next to it prints what it thinks is the right word in green. Most of the time it is right. If it is and you click on the green word, the correct spelling will automatically be transferred into your journal. What could be easier.

If the green word is not the correct one, roll over the red one to see more choices, then click on the correct choice from the suggestions box to the right to update your journal with that spelling.

I have tested it with Netscape 7, IE 6 Win, and Firefox 1.0. If anyone has any trouble feel free to email (e:paul) or IM me at 'paulsidekick'
