Wordfilters for definitely...

[nitro2k01]

As some of you may know I strongly oppose wordfilters for curse words as I find them silly and because they don't solve the problem. But that's not what this thread is about... Why not add a wordfilter that is actually useful? Filter these... definitely, definatly, definantly, definetly, definently... into definitely. However, I suggest you leave defiantly unfiltered as it as an actual valid word.

Wordfilters for commonly misspelled words? That's rediculous!

wouldn't this get very annoying ? No doubt if the system is used a lot itl be like damn MS word, correcting things that don't need correcting. Google tried it and it sucks so did ms and now Ben heck forums? I stand opposed.

I'd have to say that this a heavily OCD-driven idea. No common misspelling will cause you to be unable to understand what anyone is saying.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe. ceehiro.

OCD is a made up condition. Its just people with no self control.

I feel compelled to disagree.

Seriously though a lot of people have mental problems that make them do things, they really can't control it. Others are jerks.

unfortunately, that little trick doesn't work in this situation. You assume people are going to use all the correct letters AND make sure the first and last letters of the word are kept in their spots.

I didn't notice any difference between the properly spelled and misspelled versions of "definitely" when I read it at a normal pace.

"the" and "a lot", on the other hand, are both changed to the proper version by the censor because they're stupid misspellings people sometimes try to do intentionally. (I especially hate "alot", because people insist that it's really the right word.)

Besides, people should learn the proper spelling, rather than becoming so reliant on spellcheck that they don't bother to check it over themselves. What if you misspell a word into another word? (The and thee, for example.)
