Auto Correct Feature

[Shiloh]

When you type in the word "boolits", the auto-correct makes it "bolts".
Anyway to to have one of the moderator's fix the auto correct feature??

There are other words as well. Who is the moderator I get in touch with??

ain't me.
mine just say's I'm spellin It wrong, it don't change it.

you can right click the word [boolit] and tell your spell check to add it to your dictionary.

I've learned that auto correct is not always your friend.

[NavyVet1959]

Auto-correct is on your local machine / browser, not the server. When I type it under the FireFox browser, the suggested word is "booklets". When I type it under Google Chrome's the suggestions are "bool its", "bool-its", and "booklets".

Sounds like you are using a smartphone / tablet... Those things really murder your typing...

Nothing we can do about your auto correct, it is feature of the software you use to view the site not a Cast Boolits feature.

I use Firefox and have just added "boolits" to the spelling dictionary, simple.

The site does not have a auto-correct feature. It is most likely something with your browser. As others have said, just add the words to your browsers dictionary.

Annoying as heck, especially when I'm trying to send a text and it's sort of technical. Drives me nuts! Anyway, next time you type boolit and autocorrect pops up, right click and add it to your dictionary and it won't come up in the future. Just make sure you have it spelled correctly before you add it!

Thanks folks!!
I thought it was something on the CastBoolits server. I'll play around with it.

Caliber keeps coming out caliper....I wondered why so many people kept making that mistake , then it did it to me...everytime. I had to keep going back and correct the spell check.
Right click I understand.....my dictionary is on the book shelf....I wish I knew more about these things...it's confusing.

What type of computer and browser are you using?

That is because the word is calibre.

[Guesser]

Then there is the ever present change to "mother forklift"

Thou art drunque... :)

you should be able to "teach" spellchecker/auto-correct software. The spellchecker software on my laptop, is easy to add to vocabulary.

Calibre, meaning: "The internal diameter (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/diameter#diameter__2) or bore of a gun barrel (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/barrel#barrel__6)."

Should be easy enough to change it on your computer, my lap top which is a chromebook 2, and the 2 PC's I use are all the same(all 3 with different OS's). Right click on the red unlined word and add to directory. I've even added boolits to my android devices aka tables and cell phone.
