ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 08/24/2008 2:50 pm I notice that some of the words that numismatists use commonly are not recognized by the board's spell check system. The one that comes to mind at the moment is "uncirculated". That one never goes... There are others I have run across in the past as well. I just can't recall them right now. Just something to think about. Report this Post to the Staff

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24164 Posts	Posted 08/24/2008 3:12 pm Unfortunately my hands are tied. The spellchecker uses Google's dictionary. I have a "back door key" to Google's servers (with permission) to access the dictionary. Of course it's "read-only" and cannot be edited. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 08/24/2008 3:13 pm The term used to describe a 'family' of coins, "commemoratives" does not pass either. The spell check system wants it without the 's' on the end for some reason. However this term is tried and true in our hobby. Report this Post to the Staff

ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 08/24/2008 3:17 pm Oh, well I am not complaining really. It's one of those things that I thought might be do-able (It's gonna love that one!). Post spell check comment: It took "do-able" and "gonna"! I don't know about the first word, but "gonna" is terrible vocabulary! I use it often just to be humorous. Report this Post to the Staff

Correct, that adds your additions to a file on your own PC and consults that list in addition to Google's master list. Unfortunately I can't add that functionality to the forum spellchecker.
