Title: DAMN IT JIM!!! IT'S COMPARITOR, NOT COMPARATOR!!!
Post by: uniman on May 03, 2013, 09:16:25 PM
I just did a reply on another post and there seems to be an auto-correct spelling running here! Every time I spell COMPARITOR in lower case, it auto corrects to comparator. :30- :30- :30-
 :wtf1-

There's nothing set up in the forum software to change comparitor to anything else (and, barring something weird, it should be fine in this post I'm making).  Perhaps you have some kind of auto-correcting spell checker feature on the web browser you're using?

My browser underlines "comparitor" in red because it thinks it is misspelled, but it still posts with that spelling.

Isn't is also pronounced, "COM-PAIR-I-TOR" and not "COM-PAIR-A-RATER"?

I've got another one ... is it "ADAPTOR" or "ADAPTER"? :96-

Thanks for letting me know. I tried opening yahoo last night to test the auto correct in an email but it would not open!!! That's how good my connection is out here! So I didn't know if it was this computer or NLG.
Must have came with the latest update, my better half says "I didn't do it!" We're always changing the toolbars back and forth.  :30-
I found it in the add-ons and disabled it.

Rocket, I'm a little late, but I thought I slightly correct your Boston pronunciation. You have WAY too many "R"s in your version. :30- :208- :208-

"YOU KNOW : PAHK THA CAR IN HAR VARD YARD"

Should be: YOU KNOW : PAHK THA CAH IN HAA-VID YAHD   :88-

I've had lots of friends from BAHSTUN. :72- :72- :72-
